1 Corinthians 2:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.

⁷ Our wise words are God's wise words about things people do not understand. Before God made the world he planned those things for our glory and blessing.

⁸ None of the rulers of this world knew about these things. If they had, they would not have killed on a cross the Lord who was full of God's glory.
