1 Corinthians 2:7 Douay-Rheims

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:

Philoxenus of Mabbug

c. A.D. 450–523 Patristic

And in teaching that not every man is able to be a hearer and a receiver of that wisdom which he had, Paul crieth out, saying, "We speak wisdom among the perfect: not the wisdom of this world nor that of the rulers of this world, which are brought to nought: but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, which none of the wise men of the world hath been able to hear." The wisdom of this world is not sufficient for a foundation, nor is it able to receive the building of the wisdom of God, and for this reason our Lord placed simplicity in us for a foundation.
