Ephesians 1:22

ύπέταξεν aor. ind. act. от ύποτάσσω (G5293) подчинять,
πόδας асс. от πούς (G4228) нога. Это знак полного подчинения,
εδωκεν aor. ind. act. от δίδωμι (G3708) давать. Гл. сопровождается косвенным дополнением: "Он поставил Его главой над всем, что ни есть в церкви". Павел говорит не только о том, что Христос — Глава церкви, но о Его космическом правлении; Христос — правитель над всеми вещами (George Howard, "The Head-Body Metaphors of Ephesians" NTS 20 [1974]: 353f; DPL, 77-82, 377-78).
