philippians 2:9 Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

< Philippians 2:7
Philippians 2:9 >

      9. Wherefore--as the just consequence of His self-humiliation and obedience (Ps 8:5, 6; 110:1, 7; Mt 28:18; Lu 24:26; Joh 5:27; 10:17; Ro 14:9; Eph 1:20-22; Heb 2:9). An intimation, that if we would hereafter be exalted, we too must, after His example, now humble ourselves (Php 2:3, 5; Php 3:21; 1Pe 5:5, 6). Christ emptied Christ; God exalted Christ as man to equality with God [BENGEL].
      highly exalted--Greek, "super-eminently exalted" (Eph 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" (Php 2:10), which is even now in glory His name of honor (Ac 9:5). "Above" not only men, but angels (Eph 1:21).
