2 Corinthians 2:14-17 - A Ministry Of Life Or Death

¹⁴ But thanks [be] to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and who reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of him through us in every place. ¹⁵ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, ¹⁶ to those on the one hand an odor from death to death, [and] to those on the other hand a fragrance from life to life. And who [is] qualified for these [things]? ¹⁷ For we are not like the majority who peddle the word of God, but as from pure motives--but as from God--we speak before God in Christ.
