<<Philippians-2:6->> *Context is the arbiter*
1 Therefore if there
is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there
is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 make my joy
complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in
spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do
nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one
another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely
look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
5 Have this
attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He
existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be
grasped, 7 but
emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in
the likeness of men. 8 Being
found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the
point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason
also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every
name, 10 so that
at the name of Jesus EVERY
KNEE WILL

John 5:18
For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him,
because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own
Father, making Himself equal with God. John 10:33
The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for
blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." John 14:28
"You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If
you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the
Father is greater than I. 2 Corinthians 4:4
in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving
so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God. (NASB ©1995) Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery
to be equal with God: in. Isa thought. Ge 32:24-30 48:15,16 Eze

Who, being in the {d} form of God, {e} thought it not robbery to be {f} equal with God: (d) Such as God himself is, and
therefore God, for there is no one in all parts equal to God but God himself.
(e) Christ, that glorious and
everlasting God, knew that he might rightfully and lawfully not appear in the
base flesh of man, but remain with majesty fit for God: yet he chose rather
to debase himself. (f) If the Son is equal with the
Father, then is there of necessity an equality, which Arrius that heretic
denies: and if the Son is compared to the Father, then is there a distinction
of persons, which Sabellius that heretic denies. 2:6 Who, being in the
form of God. He refers to the state of our Savior before he took human
form. His form was divine. He had a glory with the father before the world
was (Joh 17:5). See Joh 1:1 2Co 4:4 Heb 1:3, etc. Thought it not
robbery to be equal with God. The Revised Version says, Counted it not a
prize. The meaning is not entirely clear, but probably is that Having a form of
glory like God, he did not count it a prize which must be clung to
tenaciously, especially when he appeared upon the earth, that he should be
equal with God, that is, appear in a divine form, but was willing to lay
aside his glory and make himself a servant. 2:6 Who being in the essential form -
The incommunicable nature. Of God - From eternity, as he was afterward in the
form of man; real God, as real man. Counted it no act of robbery - That is
the precise meaning of the words, - no invasion of another's prerogative, but
his own strict and unquestionable right. To be equal with God - the word here
translated equal, occurs in the adjective form five or six times in the New Testament,
Mt 20:12; Lu 6:34; Joh 5:18; Ac 11:17; Re 21:16. In all which places it
expresses not a bare resemblance, but a real and proper equalitg. It here
implies both the fulness and the supreme height of the Godhead; to which are
opposed, he emptied and he humbled himself. [1] form of God "Form," etc. Gr. en morphe,
the form by which a person or thing strikes the vision, the external
appearance."--Thayer. CF Jn 17:15. "The glory which I had with Thee
before the world was." Nothing in this passage teaches that the Eternal
Word Jn 1:1 emptied Himself of either His divine nature, or His attributes,
but only of the outward and visible manifestation of the Godhead. "He emptied,
stripped Himself of the insignia of Majesty."--Lightfoot. "When
occasion demanded He exercised His divine attributes."-- Moorehead. CF
See Scofield Note: "Jn 1:1". See Scofield Note: "Jn Margin robbery a thing to be grasped after. See, Gen
3:5-6. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 6. Translate, "Who subsisting (or
existing, namely, originally: the Greek is not the simple substantive verb,
'to be') in the form of God (the divine essence is not meant: but the
external self-manifesting characteristics of God, the form shining forth from
His glorious essence). The divine nature had infinite BEAUTY in itself, even
without any creature contemplating that beauty: that beauty was 'the form of
God'; as 'the form of a servant' (Php 2:7), which is in contrasted opposition
to it, takes for granted the existence of His human nature, so 'the form of
God' takes for granted His divine nature [Bengel], Compare Joh 5:37; 17:5;
Col 1:15, 'Who is the IMAGE of the invisible God' at a time before 'every
creature,' 2Co 4:4, esteemed (the same Greek verb as in Php 2:3) His being on
an equality with God no (act of) robbery" or self-arrogation; claiming
to one's self what does not belong to him. Ellicott, Wahl, and others have
translated, "A thing to be grasped at," which would require the
Greek to be harpagma, whereas harpagmos means the act of seizing. So
harpagmos means in the only other passage where it occurs, Plutarch [On the
Education of Children, 120]. The same insuperable objection lies against
Alford's translation, "He regarded not as self-enrichment (that is, an
opportunity for self-exaltation) His equality with God." His argument is
that the antithesis (Php 2:7) requires it, "He used His equality with
God as an opportunity, not for self-exaltation, but for self-abasement, or
emptying Himself." But the antithesis is not between His being on an
equality with God, and His emptying Himself; for He never emptied Himself of
the fulness of His Godhead, or His "BEING on an equality with God";
but between His being "in the Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 2:5-11 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, Joh 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 own will, he stooped from the glory he had with the Father before
the world was. Christ's two states, of humiliation and exaltation, are
noticed. Christ not only took upon him the likeness and fashion, or form of a
man, but of one in a low state; not appearing in splendour. His whole life
was a life of poverty and suffering. But the lowest step was his dying the
death of the cross, the death of a malefactor and a slave; exposed to public
hatred and scorn. The exaltation was of Christ's human nature, in union with
the Divine. At the name of Jesus, not the mere sound of the word, but the
authority of Jesus, all should pay solemn homage. It is to the glory of God
the Father, to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; for it is his will, that
all men should honour the Son as they honour the Father, Joh 5:23. Here we
see such motives to self-denying love as nothing else can supply. Do we thus
love and obey the Son of God? |
