1 Corinthians 2:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 (A)And I was among you in [a]weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 Neither stood my word, and my preaching in the (B)enticing speech of man’s wisdom, [b]but in plain [c]evidence of the Spirit and of power.
5 [d]That your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

- 1 Corinthians 2:3 He setteth weakness, against excellency of words, and therefore joineth with it fear and trembling, which are the companions of true modesty, not such fear and trembling as terrify the conscience, but such as are contrary to vanity and pride.
- 1 Corinthians 2:4 He turneth that now to the commendation of his ministry, which he had granted to his adversaries: for his virtue and power which they knew well enough, was so much the more excellent, because it had no worldly help joined with it.
- 1 Corinthians 2:4 By plain evidence he meaneth such a proof, as is made by certain and necessary reasons.
- 1 Corinthians 2:5 And he telleth the Corinthians, that he did it for their great profit, because they might thereby know manifestly, that the Gospel was from heaven. Therefore he privately rebuketh them, because that in seeking vain ostentation, they willingly deprived themselves of the greatest help of their faith.
