2 Corinthians 2:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 [a]For we are unto God the sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them which perish.
16 To the one we are the savor of death, unto death, and to the other the savor of life, unto life: [b]and who is sufficient for these things?
17 (A)For we are not as many, which make [c]merchandise of the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

- 2 Corinthians 2:15 He denieth that ought should be taken away from the dignity of his Apostleship, because they saw evidently that it was not received with like success in every place, nay rather very many rejected and detested him, seeing that he preacheth Christ, not only as a Savior of them that believe, but also as a Judge of them that condemn him.
- 2 Corinthians 2:16 Again, he putteth away all suspicion of arrogance, attributing all things that he did, to the virtue of God, whom he serveth sincerely, and without all dishonest affection: whereof he maketh them witnesses even to verse 6 of the next chapter.
- 2 Corinthians 2:17 We do not handle it craftily and covetously, or less sincerely than we ought: and he useth a metaphor which is taken from hucksters, which used to play the false harlots with whatsoever cometh into their hands.
