Philippians 2:11

Philippians 2:11

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,

Should confess (ecomologhshtai). First aorist middle subjunctive of ecomologeomai with ina for purpose.

Lord (Kuriov). Peter (Acts 2:36) claimed that God made Christ "Lord." See also I Corinthians 8:6; I Corinthians 12:3; Romans 10:9. Kennedy laments that the term Lord has become one of the most lifeless in the Christian vocabulary, whereas it really declares the true character and dignity of Jesus Christ and "is the basis and the object of worship."
