Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery(A) that has been hidden(B) and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age(C) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.(D) However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[a]
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—(E)

10 these are the things God has revealed(F) to us by his Spirit.(G)

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
