Exegesis
The final clause, emegalynthē to onoma tou kyriou Iesou {ἐμεγαλύνθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ | emegalýnthē tò ó-no-ma tou ky-rí-ou Iē-soû}, uses a passive verb often understood as a divine passive, indicating that the name of the Lord Jesus was “magnified,” that is, came to be highly honored. The genitive phrase tou kyriou Iesou closely associates “the name” with the Lord Jesus, highlighting that the communal fear leads directly to an increase in public honor for His name. The English renderings preserve the three coordinated clauses introduced by “and,” while adjusting word order into a natural subject–verb–object pattern and maintaining the universal scope and the cause-and-effect progression from knowledge, to fear, to honor.
