¹⁷ And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.

⁹ Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has ^[a]freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name,

¹⁰ That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee ^[b]should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹¹ And every tongue [^[c]frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁷ For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
