1 Corinthians 2:3 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 2.

1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

6 Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

7 No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began.
