1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - Paul's Approach To Ministry In Corinth
1 And I, brothers, when I came to you, came not in eminence of speech or of wisdom proclaiming the testimony of God to you. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, even this crucified man. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not be in wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
