2 Corinthians 2:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 Paul’s Anguish.[a] When I came to Troas to proclaim the gospel of Christ, and a door of opportunity was opened for me in the Lord, 13 my mind knew no relief because I could not find my brother Titus in that place. And so I said farewell to them and moved on to Macedonia.
Greatness and Weakness of the Apostles[b]
14 Ambassadors of God. But thanks be to God, for he brings us to victory in Christ and through us he manifests the fragrance of the knowledge of him throughout the world.

- 2 Corinthians 2:12 What Paul is saying about Macedonia is interrupted by what follows, and is picked up again in 2 Cor 7:5.
