Bible verses about "mystery" | Wesley

Mark 4:11

11 And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are in parables:

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

50 But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality.

1 Corinthians 2:9-16

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which are freely given to us of God. 13 Which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, explaining spiritual things by spiritual words. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But the spiritual man discerneth all things, while he himself is discerned by no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

25 Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is given me for you, fully to preach the word of God: 26 The mystery which hath been hid from ages and generations; but now is manifested to his saints: 27 To whom among the Gentiles it was the will of God to make known, what is the riches of this glorious mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Ephesians 5:28-32

28 Men ought so to love their wives as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself. 29 Now no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also the Lord the church. 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery; I mean, concerning Christ and the church.

1 Timothy 3:16

16 The mystery of godliness is the pillar and ground of the truth, and without controversy a great thing: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified by the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up into glory.

Matthew 13:11-13

11 He answered and said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even what he hath. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Colossians 2:1-3

1 For I would have you know, how great a conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh: 2 That their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, even unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, 3 both the Father and Christ, In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
