The Wisdom Revealed By The Spirit
6 Yet, when among mature believers we do set forth a wisdom, but a wisdom that does not belong to this world or to the leaders of this world who are passing away; 7 rather, we are setting forth a wisdom that came from God, once a covered secret but now uncovered, which God marked off as His plan for bringing us to glory. 8 Not one of this world's leaders understands it, for if they had, they would never have crucified our glorious Lord.
