‏ 1 Corinthians 2:8

Knoweth ( εγνωκεν ). Has known, has discerned, perfect active indicative of γινωσκω. They have shown amazing ignorance of God's wisdom.

For had they known it ( ε γαρ εγνωσαν ). Condition of the second class, determined as unfulfilled, with aorist active indicative in both condition ( εγνωσαν ) and conclusion with αν ( ουκ αν εσταυρωσαν ). Peter in the great sermon at Pentecost commented on the "ignorance" ( κατα αγνοιαν ) of the Jews in crucifying Christ (Ac 3:17) as the only hope for repentance on their part (Ac 3:19).

The Lord of glory ( τον Κυριον της δοξης ). Genitive case δοξης, means characterized by glory, "bringing out the contrast between the indignity of the Cross (Heb 12:2) and the majesty of the Victim (Lu 22:69; 23:43)" (Robertson and Plummer). See Jas 2:1; Ac 7:2; Eph 1:17; Heb 9:5.
