Proclaiming Christ Crucified

1 Corinthians 2

1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the 1 testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you a except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 b I was with you c in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching d were not with persuasive words of 2 human wisdom, e but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the f power of God.
