1 Cor 2:1 - 'I do not come to you with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaim to you the testimony about God.
I resolve to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
I come to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.
My message and my preaching are not with wise and persuasive words but I am praying with a demonstration of the spirits power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom but on God's power.'
