That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
At the name, х en (G1722) to (G3588) onomati (G3686)] - "In the name" (Ephesians 5:20).
Bow, х kampsee (G2578)] - 'bend' in worship. Referring to Isaiah 45:23; quoted also Romans 14:11. To worship "in the name of Jesus" is to worship Jesus Himself (cf. Philippians 2:11; Proverbs 18:10), or God in Christ (Ephesians 3:14). To worship God as manifested in Jesus; to ask God in the name of Jesus, "the express image of his person" (John 16:23; Hebrews 1:3). Compare "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (i:e., the Lord in His revealed character) shall be saved" (Romans 10:13; 1 Corinthians 1:2: cf. 2 Timothy 2:22; Acts 7:59; Acts 9:14; Acts 9:21; Acts 22:16).
Of things in heaven. Angels worship Him not only as God, but as the ascended God-man, "Jesus" (Hebrews 1:6; 1 Peter 3:22).
In earth - men; among whom he tabernacled for a time.
Under the earth - the dead; among whom he was numbered once (Romans 14:9; Romans 14:11; Ephesians 4:9-10; Revelation 5:13). The homage of demons and the lost, being one of fear, not love, hardly suits the sense (Mark 3:11; Luke 8:31; James 2:19; see note, Philippians 2:11).
