14. But thanks be to God, who always puts us on display in Christ and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
15. For to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
16. To some we are an aroma of death leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life leading to life. And who is competent for this?
17. For we are not like the many who market God’s message for profit. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.
