2 Corinthians 2:12-17 ▼

12 And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the LORD,

13 I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding my brother Titus, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

14 and to God [is] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is revealing through us in every place;

15 we are a refreshing fragrance to God because of Christ, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

16 to one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and who is sufficient for these things?

17 For we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity—but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we speak.
