Philippians 2:5-8
New Living Translation
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God,[a]

as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];

and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,[d]
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
