“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:”
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began — 'secret wisdom' (sophia tou theou en mystēriō) is revealed only through the gospel. 'Hidden' (apokekrymmenē) suggests it was veiled from cosmic powers until Christ's unveiling. God 'destined for our glory' (eis doxan hēmōn) redirects the Corinthians' pursuit of honor: true glory is not social status but transformation into Christ's image.
