Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
I—the preacher: as I Corinthians 2:2 describes the subject, "Christ crucified," and I Corinthians 2:4 the mode of preaching: "my speech . . . not with enticing words," "but in demonstration of the Spirit."
weakness—personal and bodily (II Corinthians 10:10; II Corinthians 12:7, II Corinthians 12:9; Galatians 4:13).
trembling—(compare Philippians 2:12). Not personal fear, but a trembling anxiety to perform a duty; anxious conscientiousness, as proved by the contrast to "eye service" (Ephesians 6:5) [CONYBEARE and HOWSON].
