Paul's Method in Corinth: Christ Crucified

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellencie of woordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God.

For I esteemed not to knowe any thing among you, saue Iesus Christ, and him crucified.

And I was among you in weakenesse, and in feare, and in much trembling.

Neither stoode my woorde, and my preaching in the entising speach of mans wisdom, but in plaine euidence of the Spirite and of power,

That your faith should not be in the wisdome of men, but in the power of God.
