2 Corinthians 2:14-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴^(A)But thanks be to God, who always ^(B)leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the ^(C)fragrance of the ^(D)knowledge of Him in every place. ¹⁵For we are a ^(E)fragrance of Christ to God among ^(F)those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: ¹⁶^(G)to the one an ^[a]aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is ^(H)adequate for these things? ¹⁷For we are not like the many, ^[b]^(I)peddling the word of God, but ^(J)as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ ^(K)in the sight of God.

¹⁵because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

¹⁶to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

¹⁷for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.

New International Version

¹⁴But thanks be to God,^(A) who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma^(B) of the knowledge^(C) of him everywhere. ¹⁵For we are to God the pleasing aroma^(D) of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.^(E) ¹⁶To the one we are an aroma that brings death;^(F) to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?^(G) ¹⁷Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit.^(H) On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity,^(I) as those sent from God.^(J)
