“For I judged not myself to know any thing among you…”
” And I was with you in weakness…”
” And my speech and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;”
” That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.”
(1 Cor 2, 6)

What strikes me the most about the beginning of Paul’s first letter to the Christian community of Corinth is the way Paul refers to his weaknesses.
The Corinth society of those days was very sophisticated, where the most prominent thinkers and philosophers of that time travelled to talk about their new thoughts and spread their teachings.

In his letters, Paul underlines what is a reflection of his Theology, the focus on Jesus and God, not on his impressive physical characteristics or his own ideas and speech skills.
