Philippians 2:7
Douay-Rheims
But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
Novatian
The sovereignty of the divine Word temporarily submitted to assume a man and for a season "humbled himself" and abased himself, not exercising his nature through his powers, while he bore the man that he had assumed. He "emptied himself" when he bowed to injuries and slanders, when he heard unspeakable insults and suffered indignities.
