3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

3 Ek was ook by julle in swakheid en in vrees en in veel bewing;

4 en my rede en my prediking was nie in oorredende woorde van menslike wysheid nie, maar in die betoning van gees en krag,

5 sodat julle geloof nie in wysheid van mense sou bestaan nie, maar in die krag van God.
