# I decided to know nothing ... except Jesus Christ
2018-07-09 20:51:47 +00:00

Alternate translation: "I decided to teach nothing ... except Jesus Christ" or "I decided not to teach anything ... except Jesus Christ" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])

# to know nothing when I was among you except Jesus Christ
The double negative here emphasizes that Jesus Christ was the only thing Paul wanted to think about. Alternate translation: "when I was among you to know only Jesus Christ" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives]])
