RSV ~ 1 Corinthians 2 v1 - 5

1 Cor 2:1-5 | Proclaiming Christ Crucified

1 When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom.

2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

3 And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling;

4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
