Bible verse
To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?
2 Corinthians 2:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Corinthians 2.
12 Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and a door stood open for me in the Lord,
13 I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.
14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
15 For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
16 To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?
17 For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.
