THE RULERS OF THIS AGE ARE COMING TO NOTHING

And so it was with me, brothers and sisters.

When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence of human wisdom

As I proclaimed to you the Testimony about God.

For I resolved to know Nothing while I was with you

Except Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.

I came to you in Weakness and Great Fear and Trembling.

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,

But with a Demonstration of the Spirit’s Power,

So that your Faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s Power.

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,

But not the Wisdom of this Age or of the Rulers of this Age,

WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING.

No, we declare God’s Wisdom,

A Mystery that has been Hidden

And that God Destined for our Glory before Time began.

None of the Rulers of this Age understood it,

For if they had, they would not have Crucified the Lord of Glory.

1 Corinthians 2:1-8
