10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For1 if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
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,
13aI 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.
16aTo the one weare 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.

Troas was then a large city, situated not far from the site of old Troy, and almost within sight of Europe. There is now a small village there and extensive ruins. See PNT "Ac 16:8". To [preach] Christ's gospel. Though he did not tarry now, a little later we find a church there (Acts 20:5). A door was opened unto me of the Lord. An opportunity for the gospel.
