1 Corinthians 2:6-8

New International Reader's Version

God’s Wisdom Through the Holy Spirit

⁶ The words we speak to those who have grown in the faith are wise. Our words are different from the wisdom of this world. Our words are different from those of the rulers of this world. These rulers are becoming less and less powerful. ⁷ No, we announce God’s wisdom. His wisdom is a mystery that has been hidden. But before time began, God planned that his wisdom would bring us heavenly glory. ⁸ None of the rulers of this world understood God’s wisdom. If they had, they would not have nailed the Lord of glory to the cross.
