- Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
- But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
- Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
- But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
- But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

- We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
- No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
- None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
- However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"--
- but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
