2 Corinthians 2:14-17 But thanks be to God, for He always leads me in His triumphal train, through union with Christ, and everywhere through me keeps spreading the perfume of the knowledge of Him.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But thanks be to God, for He always leads me in His triumphal train, through union with Christ, and everywhere through me keeps spreading the perfume of the knowledge of Him. ¹⁵ Indeed, I am the fragrance of Christ to God, alike for those who are being saved and for those who are perishing; ¹⁶ to the one a deadly perfume that leads to death, to the other a living perfume that leads to life. ¹⁷ Now who is qualified for such a task? I am, for I am not a peddler of God's message, like the most of them, but like a man of sincerity, like a man that is sent from God and living in His presence, in union with Christ I speak His message.
