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.

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
I Praise God That He Is Always Spreading The Aroma of Christ Through Us Everywhere
14 But thanks be to God, the One always leading us in triumph[a] in Christ, and making the aroma of [b] the knowledge of Him known through us in every place. 15 Because we are the fragrance of Christ for[c] God among the ones being saved, and among the ones perishing— 16 to the ones an aroma from death to[d] death, but to the others an aroma from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not like the many peddling[e] the word of God. But as from purity, but as from God, we are speaking in Christ before God.
