7 But we speak God’s wisdom, a hidden mystery, which God decreed before the ages for our glory 8 and which none of the rulers of this age understood, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the human heart conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love him”—(A)
10 God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.(B)

New International Version
7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery(A) that has been hidden(B) and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age(C) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.(D) 9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[a]—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—(E)
10 these are the things God has revealed(F) to us by his Spirit.(G)
