By faith in his name ( τη πιστε του ονοματος αυτου ). Instrumental case of πιστε (Aleph and B do not have επ ) and objective genitive of ονοματος.

His name ( το ονομα αυτου ). Repeats the word name to make the point clear. Cf. verse 6 where Peter uses "the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth" when he healed the man.

Through him ( δι' αυτου ). Through Jesus, the object of faith and the source of it.

Perfect soundness ( ολοκληριαν ). Perfect in all its parts, complete, whole (from ολος, whole, κληρος, allotment). Late word (Plutarch) once in LXX (Isa 1:6) and here alone in the N.T., but adjective ολοκληρος, old and common (Jas 1:4; 1Th 5:23).
