Philippians 2:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶He always had the nature of God,
    but he did not think that by force he should try to remain^[a] equal with God.
⁷Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had,
    and took the nature of a servant.
He became like a human being
    and appeared in human likeness.
⁸He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death—
    his death on the cross.

⁶Han var i sin natur som Gud,
    men unngikk at hans likhet med Gud skulle bli et privilegium han kjempet for.
⁷Nei, han avsto fra sin makt og herlighet og kom til jorden for å tjene oss som et menneske.
    Han levde som en av oss.
⁸Han gjorde seg ydmyk og var lydig mot Gud.
    Han var villig å dø, ja, dø på korset.
