Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 Because we are the fragrance of Christ for[a] God among the ones being saved, and among the ones perishing— 16 to the ones an aroma from death to[b] death, but to the others an aroma from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not like the many peddling[c] the word of God. But as from purity, but as from God, we are speaking in Christ before God.

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
