The wisdom of God is a mystery to those who do not know about it. Paul refers to the rulers as those who do not understand it. If they had, they wouldn't have crucified Jesus. If they can't understand it, how could Paul? Paul and the followers of Jesus Christ have this revealed to them by the Spirit. Men aren't the ones who understand God, but the Spirit does. Therefore, the Spirit is the one who can reveal these hidden things to us.

1 Corinthians 2
Speaking about God's wisdom, Paul is sure to say that he is not presenting anything fancy or from his own wisdom. Instead, he proclaims the things which God has told him to proclaim. Paul didn't mix into his preaching the wisdom of man. This way, those who hear would not be relying on the wisdom of man.
