SCRIPTURE

"and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." — Philippians 2:11 (ASV)

Is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. It might also be read, In the glory, because the particle εἰς (to) is often used in place of ἐν (in). I prefer, however, to retain its proper signification, as meaning, that as the majesty of God has been manifested to men through Christ, so it shines forth in Christ, and the Father is glorified in the Son. See John 5:17, and you will find an exposition of this passage.
