21 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)
Farre aboue al principalitie, and power, and might, and domination, and euery Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come, (aiōn g165)
22 and made alle thingis suget vndur hise feet, and yaf hym to be heed ouer al the chirche,
And hath made all things subiect vnder his feete, and hath giuen him ouer all things to be the head to the Church,
23 that is the bodi of hym, and the plente of hym, which is alle thingis in alle thingis fulfillid.
Which is his body, euen the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all things.
