1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - Paul's Approach To Ministry In Corinth
1 AND I, when I came to you, brethren, came not with superior excellence of discourse or wisdom, preaching unto you the gospel of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And in weakness, and in fear, and in much timidity, was I among you. 4 And my conversation and my preaching was not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with demonstration of the Spirit, and of power: 5 that your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
