1 Corinthians 2:4-5 so my message (word; thought) and my public proclamation were not in persuasive words of wisdom (or: ideas from cleverness), but to the contrary were in demonstration of spirit and attitude, as well as of power and from ability (or: in the midst of a display of clear and logical proof from the Spirit, consisting of power and ability; in union with a documented manifestation which was Breath-effect and which was a means of influence and capability),

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ so my message (word; thought) and my public proclamation [were] not in persuasive words of wisdom (or: ideas from cleverness), but to the contrary [were] in demonstration of spirit and attitude, as well as of power and from ability (or: in the midst of a display of clear and logical proof from [the] Spirit, consisting of power and ability; in union with a documented manifestation which was Breath-effect and which was a means of influence and capability), ⁵ to the end that your trust would not be in human wisdom (your faith and reliance would not exist in cleverness of people), but rather in God's power, means, influence and ability.
