1:17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

1:19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

1:21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

2:1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2:2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

2:3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

2:4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

2:5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

2:13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
