2:9  a As a result of Christ’s humble obedience, God elevated him to the place of highest honor; see Acts 1:9-10  b; cp. Acts 2:32-33  c; 7:55-56  d.

• the name above all other names: Jesus has supreme authority and power (Phil 2:10-11  e; cp. Matt 28:18  f; John 17:5  g; Acts 2:33-36  h; Heb 2:9  i; 12:2  j).
Summary for Phil 2:10-11: 2:10-11  k The entire creation, including spiritual powers and angels, humans on earth, and those who have died, will one day acknowledge the authority of Jesus Christ as Lord (see Eph 1:9-10  l, 21  m; Col 1:20-25  n; 1 Pet 3:22  o).

• every tongue declare (cp. Isa 45:23  p; Rom 14:11  q): This does not imply universal salvation, because not all will confess him as Lord freely out of love and devotion.

• Lord, a divine title representing the Old Testament name Yahweh, is frequently applied to Jesus in the New Testament.
