6 Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

6 Though he was God,

he did not think of equality with God

as something to cling to.

6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,

6 Christ himself was like God in everything.

But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit.

6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,

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

6 Although he was in the form of God and equal with God, 

he did not take advantage of this equality. 

6 who, existing in the form of God,

did not consider equality with God

as something to be used for His own advantage.

6 who, though he was in the form of God,

did not regard equality with God

as something to be exploited,

6 who, existing in the form of God,

did not consider being equal with God something to be grasped,

6 In his very nature he was God.

But he did not think that being equal with God was something he should hold on to.

6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
