2 Corinthians 2:14-17

2 Corinthians 2:14-17

Scripture

14Ā But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.Ā 15Ā Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing.Ā 16Ā To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this?

17Ā You see, we are not like the many huckstersĀ who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.
