The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, “Philippians 2:6 (word-for-word English under the Greek)”

1985 · Philippians 2:6 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“6 ὃς who ἐν in μορφῇ form θεοῦ of God ὑπάρχων existing οὐχ not ἁρπαγμὸν snatching ἡγήσατο he considered τὸ the εἶναι to be ἴσα equal (things) θεῷ, to God,”

The Society's own word-for-word line reads 'not snatching he considered the to be equal (things) to God'. The disputed word is ἁρπαγμός, which occurs only here in the New Testament.
