1 Corinthians 2:3-5
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 And I was in ([a]passed into a state of) weakness and fear (dread) and great trembling [[b]after I had come] among you.
4 And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [[c]a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them],
5 So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.
