2 Corinthians 2:14-17

14But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

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

16To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

17Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
