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

1 As for me, my brethren, when I appear'd among you, it was not to represent to you the divine mystery in sublime language, and with human literature. 2 for I did not think I was to have any other knowledge among you, than that of Christ, a crucified saviour. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in great agony: 4 my discourse, and my preaching did not consist in the persuasive reasonings of human wisdom, but in demonstrating the spiritual meaning of the scriptures: 5 that your faith might not be owing to human wisdom, but to the divine influence.
