Philippians 2:9
Compare all
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.  

Light Bearers

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,  
16 holding fast the word of life, so that aI may rejoice in the day of Christ that bI have not run in vain or labored in cvain.  
17 Yes, and if aI am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice band service of your faith, cI am glad and rejoice with you all.  
18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

Timothy Commended

19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send aTimothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your1 state.  
20 For I have no one alike-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.  
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.
22 But you know his proven character, athat as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.  
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.

Philippians 2:9

Wherefore (dio). Because of which act of voluntary and supreme humility.

Highly exalted (uperuywse). First aorist indicative of uperuyow (uper and uyov) late and rare word (LXX and Byzantine). Here only in N.T. Because of Christ's voluntary humiliation God lifted him above or beyond (uper) the state of glory which he enjoyed before the Incarnation. What glory did Christ have after the Ascension that he did not have before in heaven? What did he take back to heaven that he did not bring? Clearly his humanity. He returned to heaven the Son of Man as well as the Son of God.

The name which is above every name (to onoma to uper pan onoma). What name is that? Apparently and naturally the name

Jesus, which is given in verse Philippians 2:10. Some think it is "Jesus Christ," some "Lord," some the ineffable name Jehovah, some merely dignity and honour.
