Summary/Abstract: This research tries to explore an insufficient area of romanian biblical studies, and also to offer pertinent solutions. The question of christological hymn paternity it’s inadequately treated, that’s why I started this original research. First I interrogated the most highlighting theories of modern scholars (a pre-pauline composition; an adamic christology; hymn inspired by the Servant of the Lord; an midrash technique; a subsequent composition introduced within the epistle), then I elaborated my own pro-pauline argumentation. Another challenge was the construct of an accurate translation of the hymn, forced by ours precarious translating tradition, that occures many fallacies synonyms.
