This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Col 3:17. Ποιῆτε, ye do) The word is used in a wide sense, so as also to include the act of speaking.-πάντα, all things) viz. do ye.-ἐν ὀνόματι, in the name) so that it may be just the same as if Christ were doing it, Col 3:11; or at least that you may be able to prove all things to Christ [to do all things so as to gain His approval]. The man who can say, O Jesus Christ, I have done this in Thy name, certainly proves his conduct to Christ. In the name of Christ, i.e. for the sake of Christ: comp. the following verses.-διʼ αὐτοῦ, by Him) not by angels.-Theodoritus.
