harpazō

harpazō

I do not think there is a problem translating harpazō as ‘seizing violently’ or ‘grasping for something you don’t already possess’ if the word equality in the same verse is understood not as ‘ontological equality’ but rather as equality of kudos, reputation, and prestige. In other words, Jesus did not strive for the adoration & glory that would have been his if he had remained permanently in heaven.
