 Paul to the Corinthians
And so it was with me, brothers and sisters.
When I came to you, I did not come with
eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to
you the testimony about God. For I resolved to
know nothing while I was with you except Jesus
Christ and him crucified. I came to you in
weakness with great fear and trembling. My
message and my preaching were not with wise
and persuasive words, but with a
demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that
your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but
on God’s
power.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5
