eloquent
1. having or exercising the power of fluent, forceful, and appropriate speech: an eloquent orator.
2. characterized by forceful and appropriate expression: an eloquent speech.
3. movingly expressive: looks eloquent of disgust.

contemptible
1. mean, abject, low, base
Joagbaje: And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom,
From the definition of the word "eloquent," you can see that it has nothing to do with either enticing words or man's wisdom. Enticing words are different from appropriate and forceful words.

Joagbaje: For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
Your words could be contemptible and still eloquent. So many republicans have characterized Obama's speeches as contemptible, but his eloquence has never been subjected to debate.

Joagbaje: Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say?
This is simply ad-hominem. Many people tend to classify speeches they don't understand as babble, or, especially, speeches they don't like.(this happens so many times in this section).

For example, so many atheists and theists are very articulate, in writing, but the opposing side always consider words written by their opponents as babble.

To be clear, I don't know if Paul was eloquent or not. My point was to show that the proof you have presented for his in-eloquence are not satisfactory.

Forever. I am an ugly SOB. Looking in the mirror only reminds me of that fact.
