2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
2 I deliberately kept it plain and simple: first Jesus and who he is; then Jesus and what he did - Jesus crucified.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 2:2
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
(Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5)
Christ, in his person, and offices, and sufferings, is the sum and substance of the gospel, and ought to be the great subject of a gospel minister's preaching, but not so as to leave out other parts of God's revealed truth and will. Paul preached the whole counsel of God. Few know the fear and trembling of faithful ministers, from a deep sense of their own weakness They know how insufficient they are, and are fearful for themselves. When nothing but Christ crucified is plainly preached, the success must be entirely from Divine power accompanying the word, and thus men are brought to believe, to the salvation of their souls.
