1 Corinthians 2:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
In context
2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
6 Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
