1. BE SIMPLE

1 Corinthians 2:1–2 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did
not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with
lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

2. BE HUMBLE

 1 Corinthians 2:3  And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,

3. BE PLAIN

1 Corinthians 2:4–5 (NLT) my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.

4. BE WISE

1 Corinthians 2:6–7 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.

5. BE A SPIRITUAL PERSON

1 Corinthians 2:14–15 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

6. BE CHRIST MINDED

1 Corinthians 2:16  “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
