1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - Paul's Approach To Ministry In Corinth
1 And I, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God. 2 For I did not judge it well to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling; 4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; 5 that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.
