1. And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
2. For I decided not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
3. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling,
4. and my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasiveness of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and power,
5. in order that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
