1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - Paul's Approach To Ministry In Corinth

1 I, therefore, brethren, when I came unto you, came, not with excellency of discourse or wisdom, declaring unto you the mystery of God; 2 For I had not determined to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, - and, him, as one who had been crucified! 3 I, therefore in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, came to be with you, 4 And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power: 5 In order that, your faith, might not be in men's wisdom, but in God's power.
