Philippians 2:10

Philippians 2:10

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.

at the name—rather as Greek, "in the name."

bow—rather, "bend," in token of worship. Referring to Isaiah 45:23; quoted also in Romans 14:11. To worship "in the name of Jesus," is to worship Jesus Himself (compare Philippians 2:11; Proverbs 18:10), or God in Christ (John 16:23; Ephesians 3:14). Compare "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (that is, whosoever shall call on the Lord in His revealed character) shall be saved" (Romans 10:13; I Corinthians 1:2); "all that call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord" (compare II Timothy 2:22); "call on the Lord"; Acts 7:59, "calling upon . . . and saying, Lord Jesus" (Acts 9:14, Acts 9:21; Acts 22:16).

of things in heaven—angels. They worship Him not only as God, but as the ascended God-man, "Jesus" (Ephesians 1:21; Hebrews 1:6; I Peter 3:22).

in earth—men; among whom He tabernacled for a time.

under the earth—the dead; among whom He was numbered once (Romans 14:9, Romans 14:11; Ephesians 4:9-10; Revelation 5:13). The demons and the lost may be included indirectly, as even they give homage, though one of fear, not love, to Jesus (Mark 3:11; Luke 8:31; James 2:19, see on Philippians 2:11).
