"but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: "
— 1 Corinthians 2:7, American Standard Version
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:”
“But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,”
“Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.”
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:”
“But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;”
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:”
And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:
but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:
which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:
but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, Andwhichentered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.
But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
