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^[b] in Christ, and making the aroma of ^[c] the knowledge of Him known through us in every place. ¹⁵ Because we are the fragrance of Christ for^[d] God among the ones being saved, and among the ones perishing— ¹⁶ to the ones an aroma from death to^[e] 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^[f] the word of God. But as from purity, but as from God, we are speaking in Christ before God.
