2 Corinthians 2:12-17 - Triumphant Ministry In Christ

¹² Moreover, although I came unto Troas for the glad-message of the Christ, and a door for me had been opened in the Lord, ¹³ I had no relief in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but, taking my leave of them, I came away into Macedonia.

¹⁴ But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place, ¹⁵ That, of Christ, a grateful odour, are we, unto God, - in them who are being saved, and in them who are being lost: ¹⁶ In these, indeed, a fragrance out of death into death, but, in those, a fragrance out of life into life. And, for these things, who is sufficient? ¹⁷ For we are not, as the many, driving a petty trade with the word of God; but, as of sincerity, but, as of God, before God, in Christ, we speak.
