"Instead, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory, "
— 1 Corinthians 2:7, Catholic Public Domain 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, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds 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 words and preaching were not the persuasive words of human wisdom, but were a manifestation of the Spirit and of virtue,
so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.
Now, we do speak wisdom among the perfect, yet truly, this is not the wisdom of this age, nor that of the leaders of this age, which shall be reduced to nothing.
Instead, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory,
something that none of the leaders of this world have known. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
But this is just as it has been written: “The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what things God has prepared for those who love him.”
But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
