When I came to you, brothers and sisters, proclaiming the mystery of God, I did not come with sublimity of words or of wisdom. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
Consideration: Saint Paul tells the Corinthian people his gift of speech and testimony was to proclaim Jesus Christ, and him crucified; proclaiming that their faith was through the power of God. Amen.
