21 Over-above all principality, authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one, (aiōn g165)
aboue ech principat, and potestat, and vertu, and domynacioun, and aboue ech name that is named, not oneli in this world, but also in the world to comynge; (aiōn g165)
22 And did put, all things, in subjection beneath his feet. And gave him to be head over all things unto the assembly,
and made alle thingis suget vndur hise feet, and yaf hym to be heed ouer al the chirche,
23 Which, indeed, is his body, the fulness of him who, the all things in all, is for himself filling up.
that is the bodi of hym, and the plente of hym, which is alle thingis in alle thingis fulfillid.
