2 Corinthians 2:16

16 to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

2 Corinthians 2:16 In-Context

14 But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.
15 For we are a fragrance of Christ grateful to God in those whom He is saving and in those who are perishing;
16 to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?
17 We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.
