2 Corinthians 2:14-17
New American Standard Bible
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.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17
American Standard Version
14 But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place. 15 For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that [a]are saved, and in them that [b]perish; 16 to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not as the many, [c]corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
