• But there are the things, or if you will, the persons under the earth which can never be delivered. Yet these shall bow, no less than those in heaven, or on earth. In His name all must bow.

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernala [beingsb],

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The groaning or deliverance of creation in {vi 128118}{/vi} is quite another thing, and is not at all the same as "infernal" (katachthoniōn) here, being things that burrow, not the lost infernal beings.
b
Why should we use "things" instead of "beings" when we have the knee and tongue called to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord? Yet is not this very distinct from the personification of universal nature in {vi 116373}{/vi} or elsewhere?
