My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come with superior eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed the testimony of God.

For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.
