    All those ref of emptying himself, becoming poor depicts his incarnation into a mortal man. Commented Jun 3, 2021 at 2:56
  • It is (should be) obvious that Paul uses the word "rich" (πλούσιος) and the expression "became poor" (ἐπτώχευσεν, from πτωχεύω) in a figurative-rhetoric sense. Your Question is answered by my Answer to the Question When was Jesus rich? 2 Corinthian 8:9. See also my comment in reply to your comment there. Commented Jun 4, 2021 at 10:09
