2 Corinthians 2:12-17
Christian Standard Bible
A Trip to Macedonia
12 When I came to Troas(A) to preach the gospel of Christ, even though the Lord opened a door(B) for me, 13 I had no rest(C) in my spirit because I did not find my brother Titus.(D) Instead, I said good-bye to them and left for Macedonia.(E)
A Ministry of Life or Death
14 But thanks be to God,(F) who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place.(G) 15 For to God we are the fragrance(H) of Christ among those who are being saved(I) and among those who are perishing.(J) 16 To some we are an aroma of death(K) leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life(L) leading to life. Who is adequate for these things? 17 For we do not market the word of God(M) for profit like so many.[a] On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.
