2 Corinthians 2:11-17
New International Version
11 in order that Satan(A) might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.(B)
Ministers of the New Covenant
12 Now when I went to Troas(C) to preach the gospel of Christ(D) and found that the Lord had opened a door(E) for me, 13 I still had no peace of mind,(F) because I did not find my brother Titus(G) there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.(H)
14 But thanks be to God,(I) who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma(J) of the knowledge(K) of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma(L) of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.(M) 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death;(N) to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?(O) 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit.(P) On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity,(Q) as those sent from God.(R)
