A Thing to be Grasped

 During Lent, I've been going to Father Rocco's Lectio Divina.  It's good even though it's not Dominican.  Today, we chose Philippians 2: 6.  There were five of us, plus Father Rocco.  Each of us had a different translation.  It was an interesting interpretation.  Which do you prefer?

Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped...

...a thing to be stolen...

...something to be seized...

...something held fast...

...something to be exploited for personal gain...

An argument could be made for all of them.  They do mean something different, though.

By the way, Philippians 2: 6-11 is an ancient hymn. It is known as a hymn to Christ.
