In\r\nconfirmation of these things, in the Epistle to the Corinthians the\r\napostle plainly says: “Howbeit we speak wisdom among those who are\r\nperfect, but not the wisdom of this world, or of the princes of this\r\nworld, that come to nought. But we speak the wisdom of God hidden\r\nin a mystery.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_819\" id=\"FNanchor_819\">[819]</a> And again in another place he says: “To the\r\nacknowledgment of the mystery of God in Christ, in whom are hid all\r\nthe treasures of wisdom and<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_269\">[269]</span> knowledge.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_820\" id=\"FNanchor_820\">[820]</a> These things the Saviour\r\nHimself seals when He says: “To you it is given to know the mysteries\r\nof the kingdom of heaven.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_821\" id=\"FNanchor_821\">[821]</a> And again the Gospel says that the\r\nSaviour spake to the apostles the word in a mystery.
