1 And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

2 For I did not judge {it well} to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.

3 And *I* was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;

4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of {the} Spirit and of power;
