1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human 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 with great fear and trembling. 
4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 
5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
 
God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit
 
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.  
7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.  
8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
