14 Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in the Christ and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in those that are saved and in those that perish;
16 to the one we are the savour of death unto death and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are not as many, false merchandisers of the word of God, but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
