Philippians 2:6

Read in context

Philippians 2:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross.
