1 Corinthians 2:6
God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit In this section, Paul explains that while he did not use clever words or human wisdom when preaching, he was actually sharing the deepest wisdom of God. This wisdom cannot be understood by those who are only interested in worldly things. Only those who are mature in faith—who have the Spirit—can truly understand it. Paul wants the Corinthians to see that the gospel is not just simple stories, but the revelation of God’s plan, hidden for ages and now made known through Jesus Christ. v. 6: Paul says, “We speak wisdom among those who are perfect” (1 Corinthians 2:6 a). He means that the gospel may seem foolish to some, but to those who are mature in Christ, it is true wisdom. This wisdom is not the same as the wisdom of this world or its leaders, who are passing away. Instead, it is the wisdom of God, which is eternal.
