first corinthians two: three-five; ten {ish}

 i was unsure of how to go about this, & felt 

totally inadequate

so nothing i could have said could have impressed you or anyone else

but the message

came through anyway

God's spirit & God's power did it, which made it clear that your life of faith is a response to God's

POWER--not some f a n c y mental or emotional f o o t w o r k 

 

by me or anyone else

No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this,
Never so much as imagined anything quite like it—
What God has arranged for those who love him.
