The context of 1 Cor 2:13-14 is not "the Gospel, the Cross". Paul speaks of the Gospel through 1 Cor 2:5.
According to 1 Cor 2:7-8, the context is the hidden wisdom ... which none of the princes of this world knew, for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
God never hid gospel. The gospel is revealed in Scripture ... proclaimed from Genesis to Revelation. What was hid was the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom
1 Corinthians 2:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Quit conflating the gospel with the hidden wisdom.
Just read Scripture as God wrote it.
