Paul’s Message by the Spirit’s Power

2 [When] I came to you, brothers, vvv I did not come with eloquence or wisdom [as] I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing [while I was] with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4 My message and my preaching [were] not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of [the] Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith vvv would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
