2 Corinthians / Question
Question source
2 Corinthians
Paul says God leads them in triumph in Christ and spreads the knowledge of him like a fragrance through them. He adds that this "aroma" has different outcomes: "a fragrance from death to death" for some and "from life to life" for others. See 2 Corinthians 2:14–16.
14But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
15For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
16to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
