Triumph in Christ

12 Furthermore, awhen I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and ba door was opened to me by the Lord,  
13 aI had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.  
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us1 diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  
15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ aamong those who are being saved and bamong those who are perishing.  
16 aTo the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And bwho is sufficient for these things?  
17 For we are not, as1 so many, apeddling the word of God; but as bof sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

2 Corinthians 2:14

To triumph, implies not only victory, but an open manifestation of it. And as in triumphal processions, especially in the east, incense and perfumes were burned near the conqueror, the apostle beautifully alludes to this circumstance in the following verse: as likewise to the different effects which strong perfumes have upon different persons; some of whom they revive, while they throw others into the most violent disorders.
