1 Corinthians 2:7 in Context — 1 Corinthians 2

5 Para que vuestra fe no esté fundada en sabiduría de hombres, mas en poder de Dios.

6 Empero hablamos sabiduría entre perfectos; y sabiduría, no de este siglo, ni de los príncipes de este siglo, que se deshacen:

7 Mas hablamos sabiduría de Dios en misterio, la [sabiduría] oculta, la cual Dios predestinó antes de los siglos para nuestra gloria:

8 La que ninguno de los príncipes de este siglo conoció; porque si la hubieran conocido, nunca hubieran crucificado al Señor de gloria:

9 Antes, como está escrito: Cosas que ojo no vió, ni oreja oyó, ni han subido en corazón de hombre, [son] las que ha Dios preparado para aquellos que le aman.
