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.

Clement of Alexandria

c. A.D. 150–215 Patristic

God did all things through him. Therefore he is also said to have "taken the form of a slave." It is not only the flesh of the slave that he assumed but the very nature of a slave that he assumed. He became a slave so that he could share human suffering in the flesh.
