Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 2:8 Go To 1 Corinthians 2
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
But if Christ had not been put to death, death would not have died. The devil was overcome by his own trophy, for the devil rejoiced when, by seducing the first man, he cast him into death. By seducing the first man, he killed him. By killing the last man, he lost the first from his snare.
