which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places,
21 above every principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in that to come; (aiōn g165)
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
22 and has put all things under his feet, and gave him [to be] head over all things to the assembly,
and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church;
23 which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all:
which is his body, the complete work of Him, who filleth all in all.
