Tuesday of the Thirty-First Week in Ordinary Time

So, brothers, when I came to you, announcing to you the testimony of Christ, I did not bring exalted words or lofty wisdom. For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling. And my words and preaching were not the persuasive words of human wisdom, but were a manifestation of the Spirit and of virtue, so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.
