2 Corinthians 2:14-17 - A Ministry Of Life Or Death
14 All thanks to God, who, through our union with the Christ, leads us in one continual triumph, and uses us to spread the sweet odor of the knowledge of him in every place. 15 For we are the fragrance of Christ ascending to God--both among those who are in the path of Salvation and among those who are in the path to Ruin. 16 To the latter we are an odor which arises from death and tells of Death; to the former an odor which arises from life and tells of Life. But who is equal to such a task? 17 Unlike many people, we are not in the habit of making profit out of God's Message; but in all sincerity, and bearing God's commission, we speak before him in union with Christ.
