2 Corinthians 2:14-17
141But thanks be to God, who always 2leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the 3fragrance of the 4knowledge of Him in every place.
15For we are a 5fragrance of Christ to God among 6those who are being saved and among those who are perishing:
167to the one an 8aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is 9adequate for these things?
17For we are not like the many, 1011peddling the word of God, but 12as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ 13in the sight of God.
