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.

God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,(A) but not the wisdom of this age(B) or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.(C) 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery(D) that has been hidden(E) and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age(F) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.(G)
