2 Corinthians 2:15-17
New American Standard Bible
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? 17 For we are not like the many, [b](E)peddling the word of God, but (F)as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ (G)in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4
New American Standard Bible
3 And even if our (A)gospel is (B)veiled, it is veiled [a]to (C)those who are perishing, 4 in whose case (D)the god of (E)this [b]world has (F)blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that [c]they will not see the (G)light of the gospel of the (H)glory of Christ, who is the (I)image of God.

2 Corinthians 5:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 Now (A)all these things are from God, (B)who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the (C)ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that (D)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, (E)not counting their wrongdoings against them, and [a]He has [b]committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are (F)ambassadors for Christ, (G)as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be (H)reconciled to God.

2 Corinthians 6:14-17
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)Do not be [a]mismatched with (B)unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness (C)share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? 15 Or what (D)harmony does Christ have with [b]Belial, or [c]what does a (E)believer share with an (F)unbeliever? 16 Or (G)what agreement does [d]the temple of God have with idols? For we are [e](H)the temple of (I)the living God; just as God said,
“(J)I will (K)dwell among them and (L)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 (M)Therefore, (N)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.

New American Standard Bible
13 For such men are (A)false apostles, (B)deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even (C)Satan disguises himself as an (D)angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, (E)whose end will be according to their deeds.
