5 For let this mind be in you which {was} also in Christ Jesus;

6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;

7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in {the} likeness of men;

8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and {that the} death of {the} cross.

5 Ko tenei hei whakaaro mo koutou, ko tera i a Karaiti Ihu:

6 Ahakoa hoki i a ia te ahua o te Atua, kihai i meinga e ia te rite ki te Atua hei taonga kapo mai;

7 Engari i mea i a ia ano kia poaha, ka mau ki te ahua o te pononga, ka meinga kia rite ki te tangata;

8 A ka kitea nei tona ahua e rite ana ki to te tangata, ka whakapapaku ia i a ia, ka meinga kia ngohengohe ahakoa ki te mate, ae ra, ki te mate o te ripeka.
