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.

What Does 2 Corinthians 2:17 Mean?
2 Corinthians 2:14-17
Here, the Godhead is mentioned together—the Father and the Son. There is, again, no mention of the Holy Spirit. The apostles spoke for the Father and for the Son, but, evidently, not for the Holy Spirit.
