V.8-10 A quote from Psalm 68:1818Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them. (Psalm 68:18), imagine! The Lord completely destroyed Satan’s power, and has gone up to heaven as a Man — the enemy is now His captive. The Lord is the same One Who went down to the lowest point possible. Now He can give gifts to His body, the church.
V.11-16 These gifts are people. One person doesn’t have more than one function usually. These gifts continue till the church is taken to heaven. Some Christians take on jobs to do which require four or five abilities which Scripture never tells us of a person having.
V.17-19 A warning not to live like the unbelievers. Then a description of what the unbeliever’s life is really like.
V.20-21 Our life should show we are true believers.
V.22-32 Many different things we are not to do.
