1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - Paul's Approach To Ministry In Corinth
1 And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim God's great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy; 2 for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ. 3 In weakness and fear and great trembling came I among you. 4 My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; 5 in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.
