Bible verse
No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began.
1 Corinthians 2:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 2.
3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

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.
11 For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
