The apostle Paul points this out at Philippians 2: 6 - 8: “[Jesus], although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he [further] humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake. ”
Apostel Paulus osutab sellele Filiplastele 2: 6 — 8: „[Jeesus], kuigi ta oli Jumala nägu, ei arvanud saagiks olla Jumalaga ühesugune, vaid loobus iseenese olust ning võttis orja näo, saades inimeste sarnaseks; ja ta leiti välimuselt inimesena; [lisaks] ta alandas iseennast, saades sõnakuulelikuks surmani, pealegi ristisurmani. ”
