2 Brothers and sisters, when I visited you all, I didn’t try to impress you with flowery words or great wisdom when I taught you about God’s incredible plan, 2 because I had decided in advance to display knowledge about nothing else other than Yeshua Messiah and his execution. 3 And so I came to you all in weakness and fear and with a lot of trembling,[ref] 4 and my message and my preaching wasn’t delivered with persuasive words of wisdom, but rather demonstrating God’s spirit and power, 5 so that your faith wouldn’t be based on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
