[14] _Labon_: the aorist participle, in Greek idiom, unites itself
closely in thought with the aorist verb _ekenose_ just previous. The
resulting idea is not "He made Himself void, and then took," but "He made
Himself void _by taking_." The "Exinanition" was, in fact, just
this--_the taking the form of the_ _doulos_: neither less nor more.

[15] Note again the aorist verb and aorist participle: _etapeinose_ . . .
_genomenos_.

[16] The Greek, _mechri thanatou_, makes it plain that the Lord did not
_obey death_ but _obeyed the Father_ so utterly as even to die.

[18] Bishop Lightfoot has well vindicated this reference of the _onoma_
here. I venture to refer the reader also to my commentary on
Philippians, in _The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges_.

[19] Not "the Name Jesus," but "the Name of, belonging to, Jesus." The
grammar admits either rendering, but the context, if I explain it aright,
is decisive. "The Name" is still the Supreme Name, JEHOVAH, as just
above.--"_In_ the Name" should be explained, in view of the context, not
of worship _through_ but worship yielded _to_ the Name. See Lightfoot
for examples of this usage.

[20] Chrysostom brings this great truth nobly out in his homiletic
comments here (_Hom._ vii. on Philippians, ch. 4): "A mighty proof it is
of the Father's power, and goodness, and wisdom, that He hath begotten
such a Son, a Son nowise inferior in goodness and wisdom . . . like Him
in all things, Fatherhood alone excepted." Nothing but the orthodox
Creed, with its harmonious truths of the proper Godhead and proper
Filiation of the Lord Christ, can possibly satisfy _the whole_ of the
apostolic language about His infinite glory on the one hand and His
relation to the Father on the other.

[21] In my _Veni Creator_ and _To my Younger Brethren_, and more recently
in a University Sermon quoted at the close of a little book published
Easter, 1896, by Seeley: _Prayers and Promises_.

"Make my life a bright outshining
Of Thy life, that all may see
Thine own resurrection power
Mightily shewn forth in me;
Ever let my heart become
Yet more consciously Thy home."

And all things else recede;
My heart be daily nearer Thee,
