1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

And I Came To You Proclaiming Christ Crucified Without Human Eloquence Or Wisdom

2 And I, having come^[a] to you, brothers, did not come in accordance with superiority^[b] of speech or of wisdom while proclaiming to you the mystery of God. ² For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ— and this One having been crucified. ³ And I was^[c] with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. ⁴ And my speech and my proclamation was not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration^[d] of ^[e] the Spirit and power, ⁵ in order that your faith might not be in the wisdom of humans but in the power of God.
