1 Cor. 2:1–5 not . . . with lofty speech or wisdom. Paul avoided Greek rhetoric. Instead he focused on the message of the cross. He wanted the Corinthians to trust in Christ, not in human messengers.
1 Cor. 2:6–10 God’s Spirit bridges the gap between the deep things of God and the human heart, graciously preparing human beings to understand the message of the cross. See also v. 4.
1 Cor. 2:6 rulers of this age. Probably earthly rulers like the Jewish chief priests and the Roman procurator Pilate, who sentenced Jesus to die (see v. 8). Symbolically, it also includes all rulers who do not believe in Jesus.
1 Cor. 2:7 The secret and hidden wisdom of God centers on Christ. It includes God’s plans for salvation from before the ages (“before the foundation of the world”; Eph. 1:4) to eternity (1 Cor. 2:9; Rev. 11:15). It includes everything Paul preaches (Acts 20:27).
1 Cor. 2:13 Every Christian is a spiritual person, that is, one who is led and empowered by the Holy Spirit; see also Rom. 8:9; 2 Cor. 3:16–18; Eph. 1:13. Unbelievers, on the other hand, lack the spiritual ability to understand God’s teaching (1 Cor. 2:14).
