1 Corinthians 2:1-8 ▼

1 And I, having come to you?, brothers, did not come according to excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you? the testimony of God.

2 For I decided not to know anything among you? except Jesus Christ and Him having been crucified.

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

4 And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 so that your? faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 But we speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery having been hidden away, which God predestined before the ages for our glory,

8 which none of the rulers of this age has known. For if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
