2:14 But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession ¹  in Christ ²  and who makes known ³  through us the fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place. 2:15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing – 2:16 to the latter an odor ⁴  from death to death, but to the former a fragrance from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? ⁵  2:17 For we are not like so many others, hucksters who peddle the word of God for profit, ⁶  but we are speaking in Christ before ⁷  God as persons of sincerity, ⁸  as persons sent from God.
