“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.”
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him — 'Whatever you do' (ti an poieō) is all-inclusive: every action is sacramental. 'In the name of the Lord Jesus' (en tō onomati kyriou Iēsou) grounds all conduct in Christ-authority. 'Giving thanks to God the Father through him' (eucharisteo tō Theō patri di' autou) makes gratitude Trinitarian. Life is worship; all acts are priestly.
