1
And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.
2
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
4
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5
that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
6
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
