The other interpretation of that passage:

The Mind of Christ
(Isaiah 52:13–15)

5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

6Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,a

7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8And being found in appearance as a man,He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

The other thing to note is that the passage references Jesus death on the cross. The fact that Paul and others believed Jesus came back to life shows that they likely believed he was elevated from human to a god, which was common at the time and different than Jesus was God.
