6 To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

7 But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

8 And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

6 Il quale, essendo in forma di Dio, non reputò rapina l’essere uguale a Dio.

7 E pure annichilò sè stesso, presa forma di servo, fatto alla somiglianza degli uomini;

8 e trovato nell’esteriore simile ad un uomo, abbassò sè stesso, essendosi fatto ubbidiente infino alla morte, e la morte della croce.
