But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: |
but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of men. |
but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. |
but made Himself nothing, taking very nature of (or, in the form of) a servant, being made in human likeness. |
But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity] so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. |
Himself He made void, having taken the outward expression of a bondslave, which expression comes from and is truly representative of His nature [as deity], entering into a new state of every advantage by consenting to be a slave by nature and being born a man. |
but stripped Himself of every advantage by consenting to be a slave by nature and being born a man. |
but He laid it aside (literally, emptied Himself) as He took on the nature of a slave and became like other men. |
