1 Corinthians 2:6 in context

  1. 4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
  2. 5that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
  3. 6We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing.
  4. 7But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
  5. 8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.
