Philippians2:11
And that every tongue should confess. Every one should acknowledge him. On the duty and importance of confessing Christ, Rom 10:9, Rom 10:10.
That Jesus Christ is Lord. The word Lord, here, is used in its primitive and proper sense, as denoting owner, ruler, sovereign. Comp. Rom 14:9. The meaning is, that all should acknowledge him as the universal sovereign.
To the glory of God the Father. Such a universal confession would honour God. Jn 5:23, where this sentiment is explained.
(c) "to the glory" Jn 13:13, Rom 14:9
