706 B
In him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden
Only Christ can reveal God's true wisdom and knowledge. This can be stated in active form. AT: "God has hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge in Christ" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge
Paul speaks of God's wisdom and knowledge as if they were material wealth. AT: "the very precious wisdom and knowledge" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
wisdom and knowledge
These words mean basically the same thing here. Paul uses them together to emphasize that all spiritual understanding comes from Christ. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
