2 Corinthians 2:16

Verse 16 of 17. The 2nd of 13 chapters in 2 Corinthians, in The Letters of Paul.

12Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

13I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

14Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

15For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God in those who are being saved and in those who perish:

16to the one a stench from death to death, to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

17For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
