Now when I came to you, brothers, I did not come and tell you God's uncovered secret in rhetorical language or human philosophy,

Yes, as for myself, it was in weakness and fear and great trembling that I came to you,

rather, we are setting forth a wisdom that came from God, once a covered secret but now uncovered, which God marked off as His plan for bringing us to glory.

Then what is Apollos? Or what is Paul? Mere servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord gave each of us his task.
