Philippians 2:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ ·Christ himself was like God in everything [^LWho, being in the form of God].
    But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be ·used for his own benefit [or grasped; seized; held on to].
⁷ But he ·gave up his place with God and made himself nothing [^Lemptied himself].
    He ·became like [^Ltook the form of] a ·servant [slave; bondservant]
    and was born ·as a man [^Lin the likeness of humanity/men].
⁸ And ·when he was living [^Lbeing found in appearance/likeness] as a ·man [human being],
    he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God,
    even ·when that caused his [to the point of] death—death on a cross.
