The context behind Paul's statements are crucial to our understanding of how to apply them. Corinth was known for its professional orators. 'There were established conventions surrounding the arrival of an orator. Their initial 'coming' was important and followed a set pattern. There was advanced publicity, and venues such as amphitheaters or lecture halls were booked. There was a sense of expectation in the crowd, who looked to be entertained-and the orator's initial reception determined his future.'
Paul did not come in the manner of the typical professional speaker of his day, in 'excellency of speech or wisdom' as he declared to then God's 'testimony'.
