Study of the words “Highly exalted” (ὑπερύψωσεν) from the word ὑπερυψόω, is an aorist, active, indicative verb, used as a metaphor for the exaltation of Christ and is found in the epistle to Philippians, chapter 2 verse 9. Not much is recorded about this word, it has only been used sparingly before in other Greek literature and contexts. Commentators suggest that the context of exaltation infers an interpretation or connotation of kingship since the word is associated with "rising to supreme majesty" and "exalting to the highest or being exalted with pride." The word is thought to date back to around 133 AD These words were only used when a king or individual was exalted or glorified for all to see. It was not simply sinful pride but rather a display of glory. There is only one use of this word in the entire Bible. It is found nowhere else in the Book of the Philippines, except chapter 2 verse 9. However, the definition of the word has a range of three different meanings. Biblical scholars have interpreted the word as exalting to the highest rank and power, exalting beyond measure to bring oneself exalted. Three of these definitions could be used to understand the type of status to which Jesus Christ was elevated after his resurrection. The word itself must denote a glorious and majestic resonance emanating from the individual who possesses that particular quality. This word is in contrast to the slave servant description that Paul had referred to earlier in his description of Jesus. While his earthly ministry was classified as “servant-like,” he now comes as the highly exalted king as his resurrection and victory. of sin endowed him with all authority over heaven and earth. The “servant-slave” (Δούλου) derived from the……half of the card……will be constantly provided for and cared for. The Philippians will also share in the glory of Christ Jesus unlike the temporary and superficial glory of the Roman Empire. Since every knee will touch the ground in submission and confession to Christ, the Philippians have nothing to fear when persecuted by their Roman cultist opponents. Application Instead of the secular lifestyle that promotes the self, Christians must take on a similar attitude of faith. Since they themselves are the abode of the holy spirit, this should cause them to take the same attitude as Christ Jesus. Christians must empty themselves so as not to become filled with pride while here on earth. We must live as humble servants and put others before ourselves. For we now embody the spirit within us and live according to the author and perfecter of our faith who
