2 Corinthians 2:14-16

New Catholic Bible

Greatness and Weakness of the Apostles^[a]

¹⁴Ambassadors 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. ¹⁵We are indeed the aroma of Christ to God both among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: ¹⁶to the latter, the odor of death that leads to death; to the former, a fragrance of life leading to life.

Footnotes

2 Corinthians 2:14 The Corinthian incident seems to have been resolved and good relations to have been established. Difficult as the trial was, it served to clarify and deepen the meaning of the apostolic ministry for Paul, who now has a better grasp of the dimensions of his mission. What force this life attains under the direction of Christ! The power of God is manifested in a person who is weak, ill, and under attack!
