Greek Commentary for Philippians 2:3
Late word, only here in N.T., from κενοδοχος kenodoxos (κενοσ δοχα kenosτηι ταπεινοπροσυνηι doxa Galatians 5:26, only here in N.T.), empty pride. [source]
Late and rare word. Not in O.T. or early Greek writers. In Josephus and Epictetus in bad sense (pusillanimity). For ostentatious humility in Corinthians Phlippians 2:18, Phlippians 2:23. One of the words, like ταπεινοπρων tapeinos (Matthew 11:29) and υπερεχοντας εαυτων tapeinophrōn (1 Peter 3:8, here alone in N.T.) that Christianity has ennobled and dignified (Acts 20:19). Better than himself (υπερεχω huperechontas heautōn). Present active participle of huperechō in intransitive sense to excel or surpass with the ablative, “excelling themselves.” See Romans 12:10. [source]

Rev., doing nothing. The Greek is simply nothing, depending either, as A.V. and Rev., on the verb to do understood, or on thinking ( φρονουντες ) of the preceding verse: thinking nothing. The latter is preferable, since the previous and the following exhortations relate to thinking or feeling rather than to doing. [source]
Rev., correctly, faction. Lit., according to faction. See on James 3:14; and Phlippians 1:16. According to indicates faction as the regulative state of mind. [source]
Only here in the New Testament. The kindred adjective κενόδοξοι desirousof vain glory, occurs only at Galatians 5:26. In the Septuagint the word is used to describe the worship of idols as folly (see Revelation href="/desk/?q=re+1:6&sr=1">Revelation 1:6. [source]
See on Matthew 11:29. [source]
