3:17 as a representative of the Lord Jesus (literally in the name of the Lord Jesus): In the Bible, a person’s name represents that person. To do something in the name of the Lord Jesus is therefore to act in a way that is in harmony with his identity and under his authority.
Other Bible passages linked to this one, most cited first.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
And what soever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
