I Corinthians 2:7 We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. The Greeks had their mysteries, like the Eleusinian, in which secrets were imparted to the initiated. A mystery is a secret as yet not made known. The wisdom of God in the gospel was a mystery hidden until Christ came, and since then fully comprehended only by "the initiated", the full-grown Christians. The apostolic sense of "mystery" is that which was hidden, but is now disclosed to those who accept the gospel. Those who will not receive the gospel cannot comprehend this wisdom. See Romans 16:25 Ephesians 3:6 1Ti 3:16. [Even] the hidden [wisdom]. Long hidden, though existing in God's plans made before the world. Before the "age" (Revised Version, margin). The Greek word "aion" is correctly "ages". The Jewish age of dispensation may be meant, or it may mean the ages of man's existence. This hidden wisdom proposed all through the dispensations the glory of God's chosen ones.
