• “who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped” (NASB)
• “Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God” (NLT)
• “他本有 神的形像，與 神同等，卻不認為這同等要抓住不放” (新漢語)
Isn't it human nature to assert (據理力爭) one's right or anything that rightly belongs to us? Is it because we're afraid that sacrificing our right may make a doormat out of us?
Yet, Jesus' not like that, and Paul teaches us to learn from Jesus' humility.
God's teaching is not lofty but so down to earth. I am amazed at who He is.

I like 2:3-4, especially in the NIV 2010 translation.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
Like!
