Philippians 2:7

The form of a servant (morfhn doulou). He took the characteristic attributes (morfhn as in verse Philippians 2:6) of a slave. His humanity was as real as his deity.

In the likeness of men (en omoiwmati anqrwpwn). It was a likeness, but a real likeness (Kennedy), no mere phantom humanity as the Docetic Gnostics held. Note the difference in tense between uparxwn (eternal existence in the morfh of God) and genomenov (second aorist middle participle of ginomai, becoming, definite entrance in time upon his humanity).
