(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

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

Highly exalted (huperupsōse). First aorist indicative of huperupsoō (huper and hupsos) late and rare word (lxx and Byzantine). Here only in N.T. Because of Christ’s voluntary humiliation God lifted him above or beyond (huper) 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 huper pan onoma). What name is that? Apparently and naturally the name

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