1 Corinthians 2:7

But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

World English Bible British with Deuterocanon

In The King James Version

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

In Context

6We speak wisdom, however, amongst those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing.

8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.
