2 Corinthians 2:14-17
English Standard Version
14 But (A)thanks be to God, who in Christ always (B)leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads (C)the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among (D)those who are being saved and among (E)those who are perishing, 16 (F)to one a fragrance from death to death, (G)to the other a fragrance from life to life. (H)Who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

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. 15 For 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? 17 For 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.
