Philippians 2:8
What is written? (ESV)
And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
What does it say?
Being of human form, He [Jesus] lowered Himself and was obedient in everything, even to the point of dying on a cross.
What is its immediate context?
Paul is transitioning into a long closing in an otherwise short letter to the church in Philippi. He has expressed his deep fondness for them (1:6-7) and encourages them throughout to have the “mind of Christ.” His encouragement here is to remain strong in their “partnership in the gospel” (1:5) so they continue to “shine as light in the world” (vs 15).
