Phil. 2:6 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VI

; and humble, on the other hand, because, while being in the midst of such, he yet voluntarily humbles himself, not under any one at random, but under "the mighty hand of God," through Jesus Christ, the teacher of such instruction, "who did not deem equality with God a thing to be eagerly clung to, but made Himself of no reputation, and took on Him the form of a servant, and being found in fashion as a man, humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."[87]

"Hear," he answered: "the Son of God is not in the form[15]

Phil. 2:7 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III

in the "form of a servant," and "became obedient to God the Father, even unto death," so hereafter He is said to be "highly exalted; "and as if well-nigh He had it not by reason of His humanity, and as if it were in the way of grace, He "receives the name which is above every name,"[43]

Phil. 2:7 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

but the very name of an advent would be done away: for He might have done what He desired to do, though still seated in heaven, if He is, as you say, a spirit, and not a true man. But it is not thus that "He humbled Himself, and took the form of a servant; "[630]

For having emptied Himself,[38]

Phil. 2:7 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XI

Phil. 2:8 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

Phil. 2:9 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

Phil. 2:10 - NIV, NAB - in Methodius Oration on the Psalms

might escape from the darts of the destroyer; and that Christ having thus suffered in the flesh, and having risen again the third day, might, with equal honour and glory with the Father and the Holy Ghost, be by all created things equally adored; for to Him every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth,[61]
