Philippians 2:6-8 Although from the beginning He had the nature of God He did not reckon His equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Although from the beginning He had the nature of God He did not reckon His equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped. ⁷ Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men. ⁸ And being recognized as truly human, He humbled Himself and even stooped to die; yes, to die on a cross.
