1 Cor 2:1-4
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

*** THERE ARE TWO AREAS OF INTEREST
1. Bored, needing entertainment; nothing to do.
2. Busy--about the business of the King.
