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!

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

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took on him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
