6 Who, being in very nature2:6 Or in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature2:7 Or the form of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
