1 Corinthians 2:3-7

New International Version

³ I came to you^(A) in weakness^(B) with great fear and trembling.^{(C) 4} My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,^(D) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,^{(E) 5} so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.^(F)

God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit

⁶ We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,^(G) but not the wisdom of this age^(H) or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.^{(I) 7} No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery^(J) that has been hidden^(K) and that God destined for our glory before time began.
