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.
Leo the Great
He "assumed the form of a slave" without the stain of sin, enhancing the human without diminishing the divine. That emptying by which the invisible One offered himself to be seen and the Creator and Lord of all things elected to be one among mortals was a sovereign act of stooping in majestic pity, not a defect of power.
