1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - Paul's Approach To Ministry In Corinth
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook. 4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith would not rest in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
