AUV(i)
5 You should think about things the way Christ Jesus did.
6 He existed in the form of God [i.e., He shared God’s very nature], but did not consider [remaining] equal with God something [to continue] to hold onto.
7 Instead, He gave up what He had and took on the form [i.e., the nature] of a slave, becoming like a man, [and even] His appearance was found to be like a man’s.
8 He humbled Himself [by] becoming obedient [to God] to the point of death, even death on a cross.
