2 Corinthians 2:12-17 - Triumphant Ministry In Christ
12 Well, when I reached Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, though I had a wide opportunity in the Lord, 13 my spirit could not rest, because I did not find Titus my brother there; so I said goodbye and went off to Macedonia.
14 Wherever I go, thank God, he makes my life a constant pageant of triumph in Christ, diffusing the perfume of his knowledge everywhere by me. 15 I live for God as the fragrance of Christ breathed alike on those who are being saved and on those who are perishing, 16 to the one a deadly fragrance that makes for death, to the other a vital fragrance that makes for life. And who is qualified for this career? 17 I am, for I am not like most, adulterating the word of God; like a man of sincerity, like a man of God, I speak the word in Christ before the very presence of God.
