1 Corinthians 2:1-7

1And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, I 1did not come as someone superior in 2speaking ability or 3wisdom, as I proclaimed to you 4the 5testimony of God. 2For I determined to know nothing among you except 6Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3I also was with you in 7weakness and 8fear, and in great trembling, 4and my 9message and my preaching were 10not in persuasive words of 11wisdom, but in demonstration of 12the Spirit and of power, 5so that your faith would not 13rest on the 14wisdom of mankind, but on 15the power of God.

6Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are 16mature; a wisdom, however, not of 17this age nor of the rulers of 18this age, who are 19passing away; 7but we speak God’s wisdom in a 20mystery, the hidden wisdom which God 21predestined before the 22ages to our glory;
