This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow (hina en tōi onomati Iēsou pan gonu kampsēi). First aorist active subjunctive of kamptō, old verb, to bend, to bow, in purpose clause with hina. Not perfunctory genuflections whenever the name of Jesus is mentioned, but universal acknowledgment of the majesty and power of Jesus who carries his human name and nature to heaven. This universal homage to Jesus is seen in Rom 8:22; Eph 1:20-22 and in particular Rev 5:13.

Under the earth (katachthoniōn). Homeric adjective for departed souls, subterranean, simply the dead. Here only in the N.T.
