Ephesians 1:22-23 Part 2 of 2

And God placed all things under his [Christ's] feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. 

and appointed him to be head over everything for the church 
1 Corinthians 11:3  But I want you to realize that the head of every  man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 
Ephesians 4:15  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Ephesians 5:23  For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Colossians 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Colossians 2:19  They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

which is his body 
1 Corinthians 12:27  Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

the fullness of him 
John 1:16-17  Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 3:19  ... and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

who fills everything in every way 
Ephesians 4:9-10  (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
