Philippians 2:7-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

7     Rather, he emptied himself,
    taking the form of a slave,
    coming in human likeness;[a]
    and found human in appearance,(A)
8     he humbled himself,(B)
        becoming obedient to death,
        even death on a cross.[b]
9 Because of this, God greatly exalted him
    and bestowed on him the name[c]
    that is above every name,(C)
10     that at the name of Jesus
    every knee should bend,[d]
    of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(D)
11     and every tongue confess that
    Jesus Christ is Lord,[e]
    to the glory of God the Father.(E)

Obedience and Service in the World.[f]

Notas al pie

  1. 2:7 Taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness: or “…taking the form of a slave. Coming in human likeness, and found human in appearance.” While it is common to take Phil 2:6, 7 as dealing with Christ’s preexistence and Phil 2:8 with his incarnate life, so that lines Phil 2:7b, 7c are parallel, it is also possible to interpret so as to exclude any reference to preexistence (see note on Phil 2:6) and to take Phil 2:6–8 as presenting two parallel stanzas about Jesus’ human state (Phil 2:6–7b; 7cd–8); in the latter alternative, coming in human likeness begins the second stanza and parallels 6a to some extent.
  2. 2:8 There may be reflected here language about the servant of the Lord, Is 52:13–53:12 especially Is 53:12.
  3. 2:9 The name: “Lord” (Phil 2:11), revealing the true nature of the one who is named.
  4. 2:10–11 Every knee should bend…every tongue confess: into this language of Is 45:23 there has been inserted a reference to the three levels in the universe, according to ancient thought, heaven, earth, under the earth.
  5. 2:11 Jesus Christ is Lord: a common early Christian acclamation; cf. 1 Cor 12:3; Rom 10:9. But doxology to God the Father is not overlooked here (Phil 2:11c) in the final version of the hymn.
  6. 2:12–18 Paul goes on to draw out further ethical implications for daily life (Phil 2:14–18) from the salvation God works in Christ.
