John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:3

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Ver. 3. Let nothing be done through strife ] These are those hell hags that set the Church on fire, φιλονεικεια and φιλαρχια : if these men could be cast out of men’s hearts, great hopes there were, παντας εις το θειον κηρυγμα ομοφωνως και ορθοδοξως συνδραμειν , as Isidore hath it, that all men would soon consent in one and the same truth, and be at peace among... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:4

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Ver. 4. Look not every man, &c. ] Self is a great stickler, but must be excluded where love shall be maintained. He that is wholly set up within himself is an odious person; and the place he lives in longs for a vomit to spew him out. It is his pleasure, his profit, and his preferment (saith one) that is the natural man’s trinity; and his carnal self that is these in unity. Indeed it is that flesh that is... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:5

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Ver. 5. Let this mind be in you ] We should strive to express Christ to the world, not as a picture doth a man in outward lineaments only, but as a child doth his father in affections and actions. Our lives should be as so many sermons upon Christ’s life,1 Peter 2:9; 1 Peter 2:9 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:6

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Ver. 6. To be equal with God ] Gr. Equals, that is, every way equal; not a secondary inferior God, as the Arians would have him. See Trapp on " Joh 1:1 " See Trapp on " Joh 1:2 " See Trapp on " Joh 1:3 " See Trapp on " Joh 1:4 " Hold fast this truth; it is of the foundation, it is the rock whereon the Church is built,Matthew 16:18; Matthew 16:18 ; and all the devils in hell shall not wrest this place from... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:7

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Ver. 7. But made himself. &c. ] Gr. εκενωσεν , "emptied himself," suspended and laid aside his glory and majesty, and became a sinner both by imputation (for God made the iniquity of us all to meet upon him, Isa 53:6 ) and by reputation, for he was reckoned not only among men, but among malefactors, Philippians 2:9 . Hence he is said to be sent in the likeness of sinful... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:8

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Ver. 8. He humbled himself ] The Sun of righteousness went 10 degrees back in the dial of his Father, that he might come to us with health in his wings, that is, in his beams. Became obedient unto death ] That is, to his dying day, saith Beza. He went through many a little death all his life long, and at length underwent that cursed and painful death of the cross, his soul... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:9

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Ver. 9. Wherefore God also, &c. ] "Wherefore" denoteth not the cause, but the order of Christ’s exaltation, as a consequent of his sufferings, as some conceive. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Philippians 2:10

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Ver. 10. That at the name ] Gr. In the name. The Papists stiffly defend the ceremony of bowing at the name of Jesus, to countenance the adoration of their deified images, altars, and their host; teaching in their pulpits, that Christ himself on the cross bowed his head on the right side, to reverence his own name, which was written over it. a But name is here put for... read more
