by taking the very natureb of a servant,f
being made in human likeness.g
Philippians 2:5–7 — English Standard Version (ESV)

Philippians 2:5–7 — King James Version (KJV 1900)
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 upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Philippians 2:5–7 — New Living Translation (NLT)
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
Philippians 2:5–7 — The New King James Version (NKJV)

Philippians 2:5–7 — New Century Version (NCV)
5 In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.
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.
7 But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.
He was born as a man
and became like a servant.

Philippians 2:5–7 — 1890 Darby Bible (DARBY)
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;
Philippians 2:5–7 — GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
5 Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Although he was in the form of God and equal with God,
he did not take advantage of this equality.
7 Instead, he emptied himself by taking on the form of a servant,
by becoming like other humans,
by having a human appearance.

5 Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus,
6 who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
as something to be used for His own advantage.

by assuming the form of a slave,
taking on the likeness of men.
And when He had come as a man
in His external form,
Philippians 2:5–7 — The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
5 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,

taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,

by taking the form of a slave,
by becoming in the likeness of people.
And being found in appearance like a man,

5 You should think in the same way Christ Jesus does.

He took on the very nature of a servant.
He was made in human form.
