6which when he was in the form of God, deemed (it) not raven, that himself were even to God, [or deemed (it) not raven, himself to be even to God], (who when he was in the form of God, reckoned it not robbery, that although he was equal to God,)

8and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death, yea, to the death of the cross. (and in appearance was found as a man. He humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, yea, unto his death on the cross.)
