1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Paul’s Reliance upon the Spirit

And when I came to you, brothers, I ^adid not come with superiority of word or of wisdom, proclaiming to you ^bthe ¹witness of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except ^aJesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 And I was with you in ^aweakness and in ^bfear and in much trembling, 4 and my word and my preaching were ^anot in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of ^bthe Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in ^athe power of God.
