Philippians 2:9 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Philippians 2:9

7 ^abut¹ made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^bof a bondservant, and ^ccoming in the likeness of men.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^abecame ^bobedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

9 ^aTherefore God also ^bhas highly exalted Him and ^cgiven Him the name which is above every name,

10 ^athat at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

11 and ^athat every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 Therefore, my beloved, ^aas you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, ^bwork out your own salvation with ^cfear and trembling;

13 for ^ait is God who works in you both to will and to do ^bfor His good pleasure.

14 Do all things ^awithout complaining and ^bdisputing,

15 that you may become blameless and¹ harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as ^alights in the world,

Philippians 2:9

Wherefore—as the just consequence of His self-humiliation and obedience (Psalms 8:5-6; Psalms 110:1, Psalms 110:7; Matthew 28:18; Luke 24:26; John 5:27; John 10:17; Romans 14:9; Ephesians 1:20-22; Hebrews 2:9). An intimation, that if we would hereafter be exalted, we too must, after His example, now humble ourselves (Philippians 2:3, Philippians 2:5; Philippians 3:21; I Peter 5:5-6). Christ emptied Christ; God exalted Christ as man to equality with God [BENGEL].

highly exalted—Greek, "super-eminently exalted" (Ephesians 4:10).

given him—Greek, "bestowed on Him."

a name—along with the corresponding reality, glory and majesty.

which—Translate, namely, "that which is above every name." The name "JESUS" (Philippians 2:10), which is even now in glory His name of honor (Acts 9:5). "Above" not only men, but angels (Ephesians 1:21).
