⁶ and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.

⁴ in regard to which ye are able, reading `it', to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,

¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but -- to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

² but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

¹² The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,

¹¹ having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;

¹⁵ and the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul -- according to the wisdom given to him -- did write to you,

¹⁶ as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction.

¹⁰ `because the letters indeed -- saith one -- `are' weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.'

² receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one did we defraud;

¹³ which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

¹ And I, having come unto you, brethren, came -- not in superiority of discourse or wisdom -- declaring to you the testimony of God,

² for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

³ and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

²¹ for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
