5 Want hierdie gesindheid moet in julle wees wat ook in Christus Jesus was.

6 Hy, wat in die gestalte van God was, het dit geen roof geag om aan God gelyk te wees nie,

7 maar het Homself ontledig deur die gestalte van 'n dienskneg aan te neem en aan die mense gelyk geword;

8 en in gedaante gevind as 'n mens, het Hy Homself verneder deur gehoorsaam te word tot die dood toe, ja, die dood van die kruis.

5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
