1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - Paul's Approach To Ministry In Corinth
1 And when I came to you, brothers, I came not with excellency of speech, or wisdom, declaring to you the mystery of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and with fear and with much trembling, 4 and my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the spirit and power, 5 that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
