1 When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
2 For I decided not to know about anything among you except Yeshua the Messiah—and Him crucified.
3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.
4 My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—
5 so that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
6 We do speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature—but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
