1 Corinthians 2:6-8

New Century Version

God’s Wisdom

⁶ However, I speak a wisdom to those who are mature. But this wisdom is not from this world or from the rulers of this world, who are losing their power. ⁷ I speak God’s secret wisdom, which he has kept hidden. Before the world began, God planned this wisdom for our glory. ⁸ None of the rulers of this world understood it. If they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
