4
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
5
so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7

8
None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
