7. ἐν μυστηρίῳ. See ch. 1Co 4:1.

τὴν ἀποκεκρυμμένην. Not only from men but also from angels and heavenly powers. See Rom 16:25; Eph 3:5; Eph 3:9-10; 1Pe 1:12.

πρὸ τῶν αἰώνων. Literally, before the ages. Cf. Act 2:23; Act 4:28; Eph 3:9; Col 1:26; Rev 13:8. The whole scheme of man’s redemption was in the mind of God from all eternity. The fall of man and his restoration, the wondrous fact of salvation through Christ, were decreed in the counsels of the Most High before the world was. The ‘wisdom’ of which St Paul speaks is that which treats of these high and mysterious truths of revelation.
