L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Philippians 2:1-30

In the first chapter we have seen that Christ is the very principle of life that motivates the apostle in whatever circumstances, - and so indeed it should be for all believers. Chapter 2 now brings Christ Jesus before us in His voluntary humiliation and obedience unto death, as the great Example of His people. Vibrant life and freshness of soul is sweet, but it will soon vanish if it does not issue in lowly obedience. Thus, if souls have found "consolation in Christ - comfort of love -... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:1-30

JOY IN SE RV ICE EXPRESSED UNITY We here touch the weak point in the spiritual life of this church: a tendency toward dissension and separation. It is sad, as another says, that this tendency “is not least likely to be operative where there is generally diffused life and vigor” in a church, just as a state of lukewarmness may favor an outward tranquility. Paul plies his arguments against it, saying in effect, if there is any such thing as comfort drawn from our common union in Christ, any... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Philippians 2:1-11

(1) ¶ If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, (2) Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. (3) Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. (4) Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. (5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:9

God....hath given him a name, &c. The name or word Jesus represents the dignity of him who is signified by the name, and who is exalted even as man, above all creatures in heaven, earth, and hell; all which creatures either piously reverence him, or are made subject to him against their will, that every tongue may confess our Lord Jesus to be now, and to have been always, in the glory of his Father, equal to him in substance and in all perfections. (Witham) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:10

If we shew respect when the name of our sovereign is mentioned, may we not express our respect also at the name of Jesus; and if to his name, why not to his cross as well as to the throne of the king? read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Philippians 2:5-11

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 1:1, had not thought it a robbery to be equal with God, and to receive Divine worship from men. His human nature; herein he became like us in all things except sin. Thus low, of his... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Philippians 2:1-99

Philippians 2 THE OPENING VERSE of chapter 2 appears to be an allusion to the supplies from the Philippians which had reached Paul by the hand of Epaphroditus. These gifts had been to him a very refreshing expression of the love and compassion that marked them, and of the true fellowship of the Spirit that existed between himself and them. As a result his heart had been filled with consolation and comfort in the midst of his afflictions. Whilst recognizing however, the immediate application of... read more

The Example of Christ's Humility. Php_2:5-11 Christ's state of humiliation and its lesson: v. 5. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, v. 6. who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, v. 7. but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men; v. 8. and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Philippians 2:9-11

Christ's state of exaltation: v. 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name, v. 10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth, v. 11. and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father. The enthusiasm of the apostle here carries him beyond his original scope, in a triumphant description of Christ's exaltation: On which... read more
