Context
2:1 When I came to you , brothers and sisters , I did not come with superior eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed the testimony of God .
2:2 For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ , and him crucified .
2:3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling .
2:4 My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom , but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power ,
2:5 so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on the power of God .
Wisdom from God
2:6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature , but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age , who are perishing .
2:7 Instead we speak the wisdom of God , hidden in a mystery , that God determined before the ages for our glory .
2:8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory .
2:9 But just as it is written , “Things that no eye has seen , or ear heard , or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him .”
2:10 God has revealed these to us by the Spirit . For the Spirit searches all things , even the deep things of God .
