And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: |
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, |
And my message (word) and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, |
|
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, |
And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them]. |
And my message and my preaching were not couched in specious words of philosophy but were dependent for their efficacy upon a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, |
|
What I said and preached had none of the attractiveness of the clever mind, but it was a demonstration of the power of the Spirit! |
and my language and the message I preached were not adorned with pleasing words of worldly wisdom (literally, persuasive words of wisdom), but they were attended with proof and power given by the Spirit, |
And 2532 my 3450 speech 3056 and 2532 my 3450 preaching 2782 was not 3756 with 1722 enticing 3981 words 3056 of man's 442 wisdom, 4678 but 235 in 1722 demonstration 585 of the Spirit 4151 and 2532 of power: 1411 |
