“Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,”

Philippians 2:9

Study note

Philippians 2:6-8 describes Christ's descent: though he shared God's nature, he emptied himself, became a servant, took on human likeness and humbled himself to death on a cross, the most shameful execution in the Roman world. Verse 9 marks the turning point of the hymn.
