EXPLANATION

Verse 17. Gods. Idols are nothing, 1 Corinthians 8:4. Hence Theodoret supposes, that all who have authority upon earth are here designated. But admitting the false notions of the pagans respecting their gods, the superiority of the true God is here asserted; ( Calmet.) and all, both in heaven and on earth, gods and lords, must bow before him.
