1 Corinthians 2:4-8
4and my 1message and my preaching were 2not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of 3the Spirit and of power, 5so that your faith would not 4rest on the wisdom of men, but on 5the power of God.
6Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are 6mature; a wisdom, however, not of 7this age nor of the rulers of 8this age, who are 9passing away; 7but we speak God’s wisdom in a 10mystery, the hidden wisdom which God 11predestined before the 12ages to our glory; 8the wisdom 13which none of the rulers of 14this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified 15the Lord of glory;
