5 Tenham entre vocês o mesmo modo de pensar de Cristo Jesus, 6 que, mesmo existindo na forma de Deus, não considerou o ser igual a Deus algo que deveria ser retido a qualquer custo. 7 Pelo contrário, ele se esvaziou, assumindo a forma de servo, tornando-se semelhante aos seres humanos. E, reconhecido em figura humana, 8 ele se humilhou, tornando-se obediente até a morte, e morte de cruz.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature "God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature "of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross!
