And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
All Commentaries on Philippians 2:8 Go To Philippians 2
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
Therefore, as He was found to be God by His mighty power, so was He found to be man by reason of His flesh, because the apostle could not have pronounced Him to have "become obedient unto death".
Still more plainly does this appear from the apostle's additional words, "even the death of the cross.".
For his sake He came down (from heaven), for his sake He preached, for his sake "He humbled Himself even unto death-the death of the cross."
