Php 2:10. Πᾶν γόνυ-πᾶσα γλῶσσα, every knee-every tongue) A Synecdoche;[21] i.e. that in every way they may worship and acknowledge Him as Lord; comp. Rev 5:13.-κάμψῃ) may bow, viz. itself, either with [in token of] applause or with trembling.-ἐπουρανίων [supracælestium], of the beings dwelling in the upper heaven) The heavenly inhabitants bow their knees, for Christ the Lord has taken heaven.-ἐπιγείων, of things on earth) For He dwelt upon the earth.-καταχθονίων, of beings under the earth) See Mar 3:11; Job 26:5 [Eph 4:9; Rev 5:13.-V. g.] Afterwards He also presented Himself to them. This division goes further into the height and depth than that, Exo 20:4.
[21] Bowing the knee, the part put for every kind of worship, the whole.-ED.
