Triumph in Christ
12When gI came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though ha door was opened for me in the Lord, 13my spirit iwas not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.
14But jthanks be to God, who in Christ always kleads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads lthe fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15For we are the aroma of Christ to God among mthose who are being saved and among nthose who are perishing, 16oto one a fragrance from death to death, oto the other a fragrance from life to life. pWho is sufficient for these things? 17For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

Ministers of the New Covenant
1qAre we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, ras some do, sletters of recommendation to you, or from you? 2tYou yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our1 hearts, to be known and read by all. 3And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of uthe living God, not on vtablets of stone but on wtablets of xhuman hearts.2
4ySuch is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5zNot that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but aour sufficiency is from God, 6who has made us sufficient to be bministers of ca new covenant, not of dthe letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but ethe Spirit gives life.
