Howbeit we speak Wisdom among them that are Perfect yet not the wisdom of this world nor of the Princes of this world that come to nought. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of Man’s wisdom but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your Faith should not stand in the wisdom of Men but in the Power of God. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.

For I determined not to know any thing among you save Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. What I like Victor in reference to the Scripture you shared about Paul is when read in context we see a very important Truth, it is not really about how we speak that matters or even write but what is the source of what we share, does it come from God’s Wisdom or from worldly fleshy understanding.ġCorinthians 2:2-8 And I brethren when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the Testimony of God.

Was he just being humble or telling a fact? What do you think? In other words, you could say Paul meant he was not a polished speaker, a trained orator or a captivating public speaker. Or as he put it, “…I am unskilled in speech…”īut even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things (2 Corinthians 11:6)Īlthough he acknowledged that he is vast and skilled in knowledge, Paul told the Corinthian church that he was “unskilled in speech.” Unskilled in speechĭespite all these, Paul admitted in one of his Epistles that he was not a skilled speaker. That he was very persuasive in his writings is pretty obvious in the way he marshalled his points in the various Epistles penned by him and the many arguments and counter-arguments he had to be engaged in for the advancement of the gospel. You could easily be excused if you pass Apostle Paul as a very eloquent person – a man who is very “fluent or persuasive in speaking or writing.” You might think so, but what he said about himself concerning that question may shock you. It is obvious therefore that there are many fantastic things we can say about Apostle Paul. As a man highly schooled in Judaism, He had a good grasp of law and history as well.Ĭoupled with the uncommon revelations he received directly from the Lord Jesus Himself, no one could parallel him in the most accurate communication of the gospel of Christ.

Paul knew his way through any kind of argument.

Many people will agree that he was a man of high intellect, he was knowledgeable, passionate about the course of the gospel, and full of divine revelation.
