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. ¹⁵For 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? ¹⁷For 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.

New King James Version

¹⁴Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us ^[a]diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. ¹⁵For we are to God the fragrance of Christ ^(A)among those who are being saved and ^(B)among those who are perishing. ¹⁶^(C)To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And ^(D)who is sufficient for these things? ¹⁷For we are not, as ^[b]so many, ^(E)peddling^[c] the word of God; but as ^(F)of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.
