2 Corinthians 2:14-17
Legacy Standard Bible
14 (A)But thanks be to God, who always (B)leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and manifests through us the (C)aroma 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 aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is (H)sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not like many, [a](I)peddling the word of God, but (J)as from sincerity, but as from God, (K)in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
A Ministry of Life or Death
14 But thanks be to God,(A) who always puts us on display[a] in Christ[b] and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.(B) 15 For to God we are the fragrance(C) of Christ among those who are being saved(D) and among those who are perishing.(E) 16 To some we are an aroma of death(F) leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life(G) leading to life. And who is competent for this? 17 For we are not like the many[c] who market God’s message(H) for profit. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.
