## 1 Corinthians 2:3-4 in Context (Verses 1–7 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/2/1) And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/2/2) For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/2/3) And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/2/4) And my speech and my preaching *was* not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
 
 [5 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/2/5) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/2/6) Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/2/7) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, *even* the hidden *wisdom*, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
 
[1 Corinthians 1](/kjv/1-corinthians/1) [1 Corinthians 3](/kjv/1-corinthians/3)
