7 rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

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

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,

7 But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.

He was born as a man

and became like a servant.

7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;

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

7 Instead, he emptied himself by taking on the form of a servant, 

by becoming like other humans, 

by having a human appearance. 

7 Instead He emptied Himself

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,

7 but emptied himself,

taking the form of a slave,

being born in human likeness.

And being found in human form,

7 but emptied himself

by taking the form of a slave,

by becoming in the likeness of people.

And being found in appearance like a man,

7 Instead, he made himself nothing.

He took on the very nature of a servant.

He was made in human form.

7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
