2 Corinthians 2:14-17

Christian Standard Bible

A Ministry of Life or Death

¹⁴ But thanks be to God,^(A) who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place.^{(B) 15} For to God we are the fragrance^(C) of Christ among those who are being saved^(D) and among those who are perishing.^{(E) 16} To some we are an aroma of death^(F) leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life^(G) leading to life. Who is adequate for these things? ¹⁷ For we do not market the word of God^(H) for profit like so many.^[a] On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.
