2 Corinthians 2:14

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.
