I've noticed in Philippians 2:6 in the Authorized it's translated "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: " and the 1901 ASV has "who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, " Now to me these seem to be opposite of each other. From the KJV/NKJV How I understand the verse to mean Jesus was in the form of God, and did not think it was wrong to be equal with God but made himself of no reputation. But ASV/ESV seem to imply that Jesus didn't want to take advantage of his equality with God, maybe? I don't know, the KJV rendering makes more sense to me but is it a valid translation? It would seem to be one or the other is wrong unless I'm missing something. har-pag-mos'
From G726; plunder (properly concrete): - robbery.
From Strong's it would suggest the KJV is right I suppose. Anyone have an opinion on this. What's the proper translation and interpretation thereof?
