  • I'm curious: what prompted you to use "mindset" as a rendering for the φρον- terms? Are you just following 2011 NIV, or is there something else implied? Thanks! Commented Jul 19, 2017 at 9:48
  • @Dɑvïd—Don’t exactly recall the reason, but it is not uncommon. See Fee, on this page, 11. Commented Jul 19, 2017 at 18:55

    Helpful, thanks. I'm seeing this more and more. My own sense is that "mindset" (a word that originated in 1909 in psychology, according to OED anyway) is not a good equivalence for the phron- words in Philippians, but I think I'm in a minority on that. ;) Commented Jul 20, 2017 at 13:10

    Equivocation makes it obvious that this verse proves that Jesus is not equal to God. Jesus' own words settle the issue of equality John 14:28 but others impose on him that which he rejected. Commented Apr 22, 2021 at 16:27
