In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to wisdom or knowledge that is not immediately apparent or is reserved for those who are spiritually mature. It implies a depth of understanding that is not accessible to everyone but is revealed to those who seek it earnestly.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, mystery religions and philosophical schools often spoke of hidden knowledge or esoteric wisdom available only to initiates. In contrast, the New Testament presents the hidden wisdom of God as something revealed through Christ and accessible to all believers through the Holy Spirit. This concept challenges the exclusivity of contemporary mystery cults by emphasizing the universality of the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/613.htm">apokruptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>hidden<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hidden (1), secret (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 614: ἀπόκρυφος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπόκρυφος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπόκρυφον</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀποκρύπτω</span>), <span class="accented">hidden, secreted</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-22.htm">Mark 4:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-17.htm">Luke 8:17</a>. <span class="accented">stored up</span>: <a href="/interlinear/colossians/2-3.htm">Colossians 2:3</a>.
