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.
Augustine of Hippo
He "emptied himself," not because as eternal Wisdom he underwent change. For as eternal Wisdom he is absolutely changeless. Rather without changing he chose to become known to humanity in such a humble form.
