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).
