15
For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,
16
to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
17
For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word; but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
