1599 Geneva Bible
16 To the one we are the savor of death, unto death, and to the other the savor of life, unto life: [a]and who is sufficient for these things?
17 (A)For we are not as many, which make [b]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 2:16 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.
