10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
10 so that all created beings in heaven and on earth - even those long ago dead and buried - will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Philippians 2:10
Commentary on Philippians 2:5-11
(Read Philippians 2:5-11)
The example of our Lord Jesus Christ is set before us. We must resemble him in his life, if we would have the benefit of his death. Notice the two natures of Christ; his Divine nature, and human nature. Who being in the form of God, partaking the Divine nature, as the eternal and only-begotten Son of God, John 5:23. Here we see such motives to self-denying love as nothing else can supply. Do we thus love and obey the Son of God?
