1 Brothers and sisters, when I came to you I didn't come with fancy words or great wisdom. I preached to you the truth about God's love.
2 I made up my mind to pay attention to only one thing while I was with you. That one thing was Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.
3 When I came to you, I was weak and afraid and trembling all over.
4 I didn't preach my message with clever and compelling words. As I preached, the Holy Spirit showed his power.
