Context of Philippians 2:9
7but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men; 8and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross. Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings], 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.

Commentaries on Philippians 2:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him - If by his humiliation he has merited pardon and final salvation for the whole world, is it to be wondered that the human body, in which this fullness of the Godhead dwelt, and in which the punishment due to our sins was borne upon the tree, should be exalted above all human and all created beings? And this is the fact; for he hath given him a name, , the name, which is above every name: is prefixed to here by…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Wherefore - As a reward of this humiliation and these sufferings. The idea is, that there was an appropriate reward for it, and that that was bestowed upon him by his exaltation as Mediator to the right hand of God; compare the notes at Hebrews 2:9. God also hath highly exalted him - As Mediator. Though he was thus humbled, and appeared in the form of a servant, he is now raised up to the throne of glory, and to universal dominion. This exaltation is…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-11Verses 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.

His human nature; herein he became like…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. Wherefore--as the just consequence of His self-humiliation and obedience (Psa 8:5, 6; 110:1, 7; Mt 28:18; Lu 24:26; Joh 5:27; 10:17; Ro 14:9; Ep 1:20-22; He 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).
