What Does Philippians 2:10 Mean in the King James?
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
Jesus’ name carries his nature, and every realm bends before the authority of who he is.
THE MEANING
The nature carried in Jesus’ name stands before you as the authority every realm acknowledges. Heaven, earth, and the depths all lie within this recognition.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
The belief that any realm can remain outside Jesus’ authority is undone here.
THE ROOT
ὄνομα
onoma
GROWS FROM
ὀνομ-
onom-
Name or designation, with the reputation and authority associated with the one named.
Here “name” opens beyond a spoken label to the nature and authority of Jesus; the surrounding lines show him through self-emptying service and exaltation. Every knee bends in response to who he is.
ALSO GROWS
onomazō: To name or call by name.
ὀνομάζω
The verb makes the identity carried by a name explicit: the one named is publicly identified.
onomastos: Named, renowned, or notable.
ὀνομαστός
This branch links a name with the reputation attached to the person, illuminating the authority carried in Jesus’ name.
THE PATTERN
The nature carried in God’s authority gathers acknowledgment from every realm.
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.THE THREAD
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.Romans 14:11 repeats the same Greek verb κάμπτω (kamptō, to bend or bow) in “shall bow.” The shared root reveals this verse’s bowing as universal acknowledgment of divine authority, gathered here into the name of Jesus.
