1 Corinthians 2:1-6

1 Corinthians 2:1-6 TOJB2011

When I came to you, Achim b'Moshiach, I did not come preaching and announcing to you the sod HASHEM (mystery of G-d) as a ba'al melitzot (rhetorician, fine talker) or in the excellence of chochmah. For I made the decision not to have da'as of anything among you except Moshiach and nivlato al haEtz (his body — gufa, bar-minen — on the Boim [Yiddish for tree]). And I came to you in weakness and in yir'at Shomayim and in fear and in much trembling I was with you, And my speech and my hachrazah (proclamation, kyrygma, preaching) to you of the Besuras HaGeulah of HASHEM was not in persuasive words but in the demonstration of the Ruach Hakodesh and the gevurat HASHEM (power of G-d), That the emunah (faith) of you may not be in the [Olam Hazeh] “chochmah” of Bnei Adam, but in the gevurat HASHEM. But we do speak chochmah (wisdom) to the man who is mevugar (mature, grown up), to those with mature ruchaniyut (spirituality in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach), yet, it is a chochmah (wisdom) not of the Olam Hazeh, neither of the rulers of the Olam Hazeh, the ones being brought to naught.
