The Spirit's Decisive Power
Paul attributes his success not just to his preaching or even to visible miracles, but ultimately to the "power of the Holy Spirit." Commentators stress that while "signs and wonders" were convincing, only the Spirit could change hearts and bring about true obedience to the gospel. All credit for conversion belongs to God's work through the Spirit.
