2 Corinthians 2:14-17

141But thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, who alwaysG3842 2leadsG2358 us inG2358 triumphG2358 in ChristG5547, and throughG1223 us revealsG5319 the 3fragranceG3744 of the 4knowledgeG1108 of Him in everyG3956 placeG5117.

15For we are a 5fragranceG2175 of ChristG5547 to GodG2316 amongG1722 6thoseG3588 who are being savedG4982 and amongG1722 thoseG3588 who are perishingG622:

167to the oneG3739G3303 an 8aromaG3744 from deathG2288 to deathG2288, to the otherG3739 an aromaG3744 from lifeG2222 to lifeG2222. And whoG5101 is 9adequateG2425 for theseG3778 thingsG3778?

17For we are not likeG5613 the manyG4183, 1011peddlingG2585 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, but 12as from sincerityG1505, but as from GodG2316, we speakG2980 in ChristG5547 13inG2713 theG2713 sightG2713 of GodG2316.
