    In Philippians 2:9, the aorist active indicative form presents God’s completed action toward him; the clause joins it to giving him “the name that is above every name.” The APB renders the verse, “Therefore God also exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Philippians 2:9, the APB presents the action as “God also exalted him.” This rendering confirms the clause’s overall presentation rather than isolating every element of the Greek term.
