1 Corinthians 2:1-5 ▼

1 When I came to you, brothers, proclaiming the mystery of God, I did not come with sublimity of words or of wisdom.

2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling,

4 and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive [words of] wisdom, but with a demonstration of spirit and power,

5 so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
