5 Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,6 To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;7 But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;8 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.

5 La dette sinn være i eder, som og var i Kristus Jesus,6 han som, da han var i Guds skikkelse, ikke aktet det for et rov å være Gud lik,7 men av sig selv gav avkall på det og tok en tjeners skikkelse på sig, idet han kom i menneskers lignelse,8 og da han i sin ferd var funnet som et menneske, fornedret han sig selv, så han blev lydig inntil døden, ja korsets død.
