Who, being in the form of God, thought it not a thing to be grasped to be equal with God:
All Commentaries on Philippians 2:6 Go To Philippians 2

AD 400
God is the very principle of life. God is being itself. God contains life as a principle of life and so also understanding. But life and understanding are in a sense the form and image of what exists. What most truly exists is God. God is being itself, as many agree, and more so that which is above existence. The form of existence is motion, understanding and life…. Christ is said to be “the form of God” because Christ is life, consciousness and understanding.
