2 Corinthians 2:12-17

12When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though the Lord opened a door for me,

13I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find my brother Titus. Instead, I said good-bye to them and left for Macedonia.

14But thanks be to God, who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place.

15For to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

16To some we are an aroma of death leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life leading to life. Who is adequate for these things?

17For we do not market the word of God for profit like so many. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.
