He always had the nature of God,
    but he did not think that by force he should try to remain[a] equal with God.
Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had,

    and appeared in human likeness.

    his death on the cross.

    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death(G)
        even death on a cross!(H)
