1 Corinthians 2:2-6 God's Word Translation (GW)

2. While I was with you, I decided to deal with only one subject—Jesus Christ, who was crucified.

3. When I came to you, I was weak. I was afraid and very nervous.

4. I didn’t speak my message with persuasive intellectual arguments. I spoke my message with a show of spiritual power

5. so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God’s power.

6. However, we do use wisdom to speak to those who are mature. It is a wisdom that doesn’t belong to this world or to the rulers of this world who are in power today and gone tomorrow.
