The Apostle Paul
Colossians 3:17BSB·traditional attribution

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Geneva Bible Notes Reformed

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (m) Call upon the name of Christ when you do it, or do it to Christ's praise and glory.

William Burkitt Anglican

All your thoughts, words, and actions must be done in Christ's name, by His authority and strength, for His honour and after His pattern. Your prayers and thanksgivings can find acceptance with God only through Jesus Christ; there is no other way.

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Whether you preach, hear, sing, or converse, do it all in Christ's strength, for without Him nothing can be well done. Call upon His name for aid in every duty, directing all to His honour alone; this is the only way our thanksgiving and praise can reach God acceptably.
