“In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge — wisdom and knowledge (sophia kai gnōsis) are 'hidden' (apokrypta) in Christ. The 'hidden' echoes 1:26 (mystery hidden/revealed): treasures are concealed until accessed. 'In whom' (en hō) establishes Christ as treasure-repository. The metaphor inverts Gnostic claims: true wisdom is not secret knowledge available to initiates but available in Christ to all believers. Against false gnosis stands Christ-knowledge.
