1 Corinthians 2:3
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.
2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
