Philippians 2:5-8
New Living Translation
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God,[a]
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];
he took the humble position of a slave[c]
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.
Philippians 2:5-8
New American Standard Bible
5 (A)Have this attitude [a]in yourselves which was also in (B)Christ Jesus, 6 who, as He already (C)existed in the (D)form of God, (E)did not consider equality with God something to be [b]grasped, 7 but [c](F)emptied Himself by taking the form of a (G)bond-servant and [d](H)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, (I)He humbled Himself by becoming (J)obedient to the point of death: (K)death [e]on a cross.
