1 Corinthians 2:4

4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

4and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

4And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom [using clever rhetoric], but [they were delivered] in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit [operating through me] and of [His] power [stirring the minds of the listeners and persuading them],

4My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

4And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

4Neither stoode my woorde, and my preaching in the entising speach of mans wisdom, but in plaine euidence of the Spirite and of power,

4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

4I didn’t preach my message with clever and compelling words. Instead, my preaching showed the Holy Spirit’s power.

4I was careful when I spoke to you and when I taught you God's message. I did not use clever words that seemed to be wise. Instead, the power of God's Holy Spirit showed you that my message was true.

4and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—
