Bible in Basic English (BBE)
6 Ref But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:
7 Ref But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;

8 Ref which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:
