1 When I came to you, my brothers and sisters, to preach God's secret truth, I did not use big words and great learning.
2 For while I was with you, I made up my mind to forget everything except Jesus Christ and especially his death on the cross.
3 So when I came to you, I was weak and trembled all over with fear,
4 and my teaching and message were not delivered with skilful words of human wisdom, but with convincing proof of the power of God's Spirit.
