I listened to a sermon the other day, in which the preacher used Phil 2:5-11, that famous passage on the incarnation of Christ.
In his sermon he mentioned at one point that he wanted to disagree with the ESV in its translation of verse 6, which says:
“who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.”
He felt that the “though” in the ESV wasn’t a good translation and that many translations have “being” in the form of God, making it essentially that it was the very nature of God that made Him give as much as He did, which of course is not wrong theology.
Of course, there have been many debates on the translation of the Greek word here.
