1 Corinthians 2:2-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

2. For I didn’t think it was a good idea to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

3. I came to you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

4. My speech and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a powerful demonstration by the Spirit,

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