St. Thomas & St. Robert Bellarmine Commentary On Philippians 2:6-7 – “The Form Of God”

Philippians 2:6-7 “… who, although he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.”

St. Robert Bellarmine, De Christo, Book 1, Chap. 6: “But the common exposition of all the other ancients and more recent ones is that the form of God [in Phil. 2:6] signifies the essence of God.”

St.  Thomas Aquinas, Commentary On Philippians 2: “He says, therefore: who, namely, Christ, though he was in the form of God. For it is through its form that a thing is said to be in a specific or generic nature; hence the form is called the nature of a thing. Consequently, to be in the form of God is to be in the nature of God. By this is understood that He is true God: [‘That we may be in his true Son, Jesus Christ’ (1 Jn. 5:20)]. However, it should not be supposed that the form of God is one thing and God himself another, because in simple and immaterial things, and especially in God, the form is the same as that whose form it is.”
