---

← 2 Corinthians 2:15	2 Corinthians 2:16 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 2:17 →
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:	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?	For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
