Words like "highly" and "lowly", that, in the Greek, start with a prefix meaning "high" or "low", are used often by Paul.
Might that be to emphasize the disparity of the "bishops" lording it over the others?

Details are left as a future topic.

The "given", in the Greek, is the word "favor" and often translated "joy" by the KJV (King James Version).

• Did God "give" or "gifted" him a name? (the KJV translation)
• Did God "joy" or "joyed" him with a name?
• Did God "favor" or "favored" him with a name? (the Greek word used)

Many modern English translations use "bestowed".

The ancient Greek word "ὄνομα" ≈ "name, noun" is related to the following.

• English "name" from Middle English "nome" ≈ "name" from Old English "nama" ≈ "name"
• Latin "nomen" ≈ "name, noun" (semantic loan from Greek)
• modern Greek "όνομα" (O-no-ma) ≈ "name, reputation, noun"

Many English words come, through Latin, from this Greek word. Examples: "nomenclature", "nominal", "noun"

Aristotle emphasizes how a "name" represents a "thing" (or "idea").

The PIE (Proto Indo-European) root is "(HNOMN)" ≈ "name".

• French "le nom" ≈ "name"
• Spanish "nombre" ≈ "name"
• German "der Name" ≈ "name"
• Russian "и́мя" (eem-ya) ≈ "name, noun"
• Old Church Slavonic "и́мя" ≈ "name"
• Sanskrit "नामन्" ≈ "name"
• Hindi "नाम" (naam) ≈ "name"

Historical progression (for warriors in Europe):

• Wear a necklace with garlic.
• Wear a necklace with a drawing representing garlic.
• Wear a necklace with the name "garlic".

Discuss: Is the "name" of Jesus above every "name" or is the "thing" represented by the "name" above every other "thing" (or "idea") represented by it's respective "name" (or both or something else)?

This is a physical and not a mental phenomena.

Every "thing" will bow to the "name" of Jesus - and what is represented by that "name".

The following "things" should "bow".

• things in heaven
• things on the earth
• things under the earth (Biblical and Greek underworld connection)

This is, essentially, everyone - including the "bishops".

The Greek word for "bend" as in "bow" has the idea of "give way" or "yield".



The ancient Greek word "κάμπτω" ≈ "bend, curve, turn" and appears to be related to the Latin word "campus" ≈ "flat level ground" and is the source, through New Latin, of the English word "campus" as part of a physical learning environment and the English word "camp" (which is easier on flat level ground) and the English word "campus".

The modern Greek word "κάμπτω" (KAM-pto) ≈ "bend, curve, yield".

• The modern Greek word "γόνατο" (GHO-na-to) ≈ "knee".
• The modern Greek word "γόνυ" (GHO-nee) ≈ "knee", from which we get the word "polygon" which is, literally, "many angles".
• The modern Greek word "γωνία" (gho-NEE-a) ≈ "angle".

Isaiah:

Since the Greek for "glory" is that of "opinion", Paul appears to be saying "which is you opinion".


As in Philippians, Paul mentions "heaven" and "earth".

The Greek for "family" is that of lineage from the "father" (the base word).

Gideon: (selecting soldiers for battle)
Daniel: (before the Lion's Den)

What are the things "under the earth"?

Revelation: Who has paid the price?

John: Paid in full!

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
...

The line "he descended to the dead" is in the Ecumenical version but not the Traditional version.

The "deep" or «αβυσσον» in the OT (Old Testament) is the translation of the Hebrew word "תהום" (tehom) ≈ "deep". This is a different word than the Hebrew word "שהול" (sheol) ≈ "hell".

• The modern Greek word "άβυσσος" (A-vees-sos) ≈ "abyss".
• The Latin word "abyssus" ≈ "abyss".
• The German word "Tiefe" ≈ "deep" (where the "D" and "T" sounds are related)

The idea that the God created the world from "chaos" is part of Greek mythology.

• "κατά" ≈ "below, against, according to".
• "χθών" ≈ "ground, soil, earth" and related to the Latin word "humus" ≈ "ground, soil".

A possible pun might involve the following word.

• "ἄχθος" ≈ "burden, load, grief, sorrow".

The English word "confess" comes, through French, from the Latin words "con" ≈ "with, same" and "fateor" ≈ "admit".

Note that, in reasoning, "idle words" are words that do "not work" for Christ.

At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit enabled speakers to speak and listeners to listen (with understanding) to some Universal Language.

Note that in many verses, the "Holy Spirit" is not explicitly mentioned.

The modern Greek word "ομολογώ" (o-mo-lo-GO) ≈ "confess" which means, literally, "same word". That is, one is agreeing.
