1 Corinthians 2:6-10

The Spirit Reveals What the Cross Conceals from the Natural Mind

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6 Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

7 No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began.

8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10 But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
