John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:5

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Ver. 5. Let this mind be in you ] We should strive to express Christ to the world, not as a picture doth a man in outward lineaments only, but as a child doth his father in affections and actions. Our lives should be as so many sermons upon Christ’s life,1 Peter 2:9; 1 Peter 2:9 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:10

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Ver. 10. That at the name ] Gr. In the name. The Papists stiffly defend the ceremony of bowing at the name of Jesus, to countenance the adoration of their deified images, altars, and their host; teaching in their pulpits, that Christ himself on the cross bowed his head on the right side, to reverence his own name, which was written over it. a But name is here put for... read more
