“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
So that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power — the purpose clause is vital: faith's foundation must not be shifted from God's power (dynamis theou) to human eloquence. If the Corinthians believed because Paul moved them rhetorically, their faith rests on sand. If they believed because the Spirit convinced them of truth, their faith is built on the Rock. The entire structure of faith depends on this distinction.
