1 Corinthians 2:4-6
New Life Version
1 Corinthians 2:4-6
New Life Version
4 What I had to say when I preached was not in big sounding words of man’s wisdom. But it was given in the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 In this way, you do not have faith in Christ because of the wisdom of men. You have faith in Christ because of the power of God.
