1. Friends, when I came and told you the mystery that God had shared with us, I didn't use big words or try to sound wise.
2. In fact, while I was with you, I made up my mind to speak only about Jesus Christ, who had been nailed to a cross.
3. At first, I was weak and trembling with fear.
4. When I talked with you or preached, I didn't try to prove anything by sounding wise. I simply let God's Spirit show his power.
