Bible in Basic English
"To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;"
— Philippians 2:6, Bible in Basic English
“who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, ”
Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;
Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.
Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,
To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;
But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;
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.
For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;
