1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Paul’s Reliance upon the Spirit
1 And when I came to you, brethren, I (A)did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you (B)the (a)testimony of God.
2 For I determined to know nothing among you except (C)Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
3 I was with you in (D)weakness and in (E)fear and in much trembling,
4 and my (b)message and my preaching were (F)not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of (G)the Spirit and of power,
5 so that your faith would not (c)rest on the wisdom of men, but on (H)the power of God.
