1 And I having come to you, brethren, came not with eminence of word or of wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God. 2 For I judged not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much tremor, was with you. 4 And my word and my proclaiming not in persuasible words of man's wisdom, but in manifestation of the Spirit and of power. 5 That your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6 But we speak wisdom among the perfected: and the wisdom not of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, they being left unemployed: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, hidden, which God determined beforehand, before the times to our glory: 8 Which none of the rulers of this world knew: for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Corinthians 2:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
