Did you get that?
“in demonstraon of the [Holy] Spirit [operang through me] and of [His] power
[srring the minds of the listeners and persuading them]”
What is a demonstraon?
“in demonstraon of the Holy Spirit working through him” - The working of
miracles.
John 4:48 Jesus said, “Unless you people see signs and wonders,”. Paul worked in
signs and wonders. To win the perishing God has given us the Holy Spirit to deliver
His word with signs and wonders confirming the message.
And
“[His] power [srring the minds of the listeners and persuading them]”
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 says, But even if our gospel is [in some sense] hidden [behind
a veil], it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing; 4 among them the god of
this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from
seeing the illuminang light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image
of God.

Not every person who hears the message is foolish because they don’t understand
the message in their own power. Some are foolish because you are not working in
the demonstraon of the spirit working through you and His power srring the
hearer's minds and persuading them.
2 Corinthians 4:4 says, “among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the
minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the illuminang light of the
gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
