2:9 God highly exalted Jesus, giving him a new position. He became the visible focus of the Godhead, a position graciously bestowed because of his self-humbling death.

2:10-11 Contrary to what some critics claim, this description does not reflect an outdated cosmology or view of universal reality. Jesus’s lordship is comprehensive—over all personal beings in heaven (spiritual beings), on earth (living human beings), and under the earth (the dead awaiting resurrection).

2:12 To “work out” our salvation (which was “worked in” to us) is opposed to “working for” salvation.
