⁶ Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are ^(A)mature; a wisdom, however, not of ^(B)this age nor of the rulers of ^(C)this age, who are ^(D)passing away; ⁷ but we speak God’s wisdom in a ^(E)mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ^(F)predestined before the ^(G)ages to our glory; ⁸ the wisdom ^(H)which none of the rulers of ^(I)this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified ^(J)the Lord of glory;

^14 (A)Therefore, ^(B)beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be ^(C)found ^(D)spotless and blameless by Him, at peace, ¹⁵ and regard the ^(E)patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also ^(F)our beloved brother Paul, ^(G)according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, ¹⁶ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of ^(H)these things, ^(I)in which there are some things that are hard to understand, which the untaught and ^(J)unstable distort, as they do also ^(K)the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
