Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
He put all things in subjection (panta upetacen). First aorist active indicative of upotassw, quoted from Psalms 8:7 as in I Corinthians 15:27.
Gave him to be head (auton edwken kefalhn).
Gave (edwken, first aorist active indicative of didwmi) to the church (the universal spiritual church or kingdom as in Colossians 1:18, Colossians 1:24) Christ as Head (kefalhn, predicate accusative). This conception of ekklhsia runs all through Ephesians (Ephesians 3:10, Ephesians 3:21; Ephesians 5:23-25, Ephesians 5:27, Ephesians 5:29, Ephesians 5:32).
