Notes
* The Ancient Greek verb used here, lambáno, has a range of senses (as one can see here). Our proposal in the Christ Family Bible translation is that the intended sense is "to hold", rather than "to receive". Why? Saying that Christ, who is the word of God (John 1), can "receive" wisdom, for example from the Heavenly Father, seems less sure than to say that Christ is worthy to "hold" wisdom (compare Col. 1-2).
