1 Corinthians 2:3-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
3
I also was with you in weakness and fear, and in great trembling,
4
and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5
so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God.
6
Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;
King James Version
Chapter 2
3
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, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
3
I came to you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
4
My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,
5
so that your faith might not be based on human wisdom but on God's power.
6
We do, however, speak a wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
3
I came to you in weakness — timid and trembling.
4
And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.
5
I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.
6
Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
3
And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much 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
so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
6
Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.
New International Version
