1Cor 2:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : The reason Paul preached in this way was so that the Corinthians’ faith would not rely on human wisdom but on the power of God. He wanted their trust to be in God alone, not in the skill of any preacher. When the gospel is preached plainly and simply, it is clear that the results come from God’s work, not human effort. This brings glory to God and strengthens the faith of believers (1 Corinthians 2:5 ).
