2 Corinthians 2:12-17 (CJB) | TrulyRandomVerse

12

Now when I went to Troas to proclaim the Good News of the Messiah, since a door had been opened for me by the Lord,

13

I could not rest, because I failed to find my brother Titus. So I left the people there and went on to Macedonia.

14

But thanks be to God, who in the Messiah constantly leads us in a triumphal procession and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of what it means to know him!

15

For to God we are the aroma of the Messiah, both among those being saved and among those being lost;

16

to the latter, we are the smell of death leading only to more death; but to the former, we are the sweet smell of life leading to more life. Who is equal to such a task?

17

For we are not like a lot of folks who go about huckstering God’s message for a fee; on the contrary, we speak out of a sincere heart, as people sent by God, standing in God’s presence, living in union with the Messiah.
