²¹ The Lord ^(A)smelled the soothing aroma, and the Lord said ^[a]to Himself, “I will never again ^(B)curse the ground on account of man, for ^(C)the ^[b]intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; ^(D)and I will never again ^[c]destroy every living thing, as I have done.

¹⁵ For we are a ^(A)fragrance of Christ to God among ^(B)those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: ^16 (C)to the one an ^[a]aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is ^(D)adequate for these things?

¹⁸ But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am ^[a]amply supplied, having received from ^(A)Epaphroditus ^[b]what you have sent, ^[c](B)a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
