¹ And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

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

¹³ Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual `words'.

¹⁰ And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

¹¹ according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

⁸ Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;

¹⁴ And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son `to be' the Saviour of the world.

¹¹ And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹² He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

¹³ These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, `even' unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.

² who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, `even' of all things that he saw.

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.

⁶ But though `I be' rude in speech, yet `am I' not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made `this' manifest unto you in all things.

¹⁰ For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

⁶ Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a child.

⁷ But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak.

¹ After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

² And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;

³ and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought, for by their trade they were tentmakers.

⁴ And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ and saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of thee testimony concerning me.

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁹ I John, your brother and partaker with you in tribulation and kingdom and patience `which are' in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
