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.
7 Rather, we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery—a wisdom that has been hidden, which God destined for our glory before the ages.
8 None of the rulers of this age understood it—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
