^3 (A)in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ ^(A)the power of God and ^(B)the wisdom of God.

³⁰ But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and ^(A)righteousness and sanctification and redemption—

³³ Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

¹⁵ and that from childhood you have known ^(A)the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

^16 (B)All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, ^(C)and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for ^[a]instruction in righteousness, ^17 (D)that the man of God may be complete, ^(E)thoroughly equipped for every good work.

⁹ and to make all see what is the ^[a]fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who ^(A)created all things ^[b]through Jesus Christ; ^10 (B)to the intent that now ^(C)the ^[c]manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church ^(D)to the ^[d]principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

Spiritual Wisdom

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another ^(A)in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
