Philippians Study Notes—Chapter 2

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 2:10
  
  in the name of Jesus every knee should bend: For every intelligent creature in heaven and on earth, bending the knee “in the name of Jesus” means recognizing Jesus’ position and submitting to his authority.—See study note on Mt 28:19.
  
  those under the ground: Apparently referring to the dead, who Jesus said are “in the memorial tombs.” (Joh 5:28, 29) When they are resurrected from the Grave, they too will need to submit to Christ’s authority and “openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.”—Php 2:11.
