2 Corinthians Chapter 2

2 Cor 2:5-11

Paul’s Push to Get to Corinth

            12 When I got to Troas to present the good news about Christ, a door opened up for me in the Lord. 13 But I didn’t find any peace of mind because I didn’t find my brother Titus. So I left and went on over to Macedonia.                                                                                            

14 Thanks to God, who always leads us in victorious procession in Christ, and reveals through us everywhere the sweet aroma that arises from knowing him. 15 We’re the scent of Christ arising to God among the saved and the perishing. 16 To the one we’re the stench that leads to death; to the other we’re the aroma that leads to life. Who’s good enough for that? 17 We’re not like many that peddle God’s message for money. In Christ we speak sincerely from God in his sight.                                                                            2 Cor 2:12-17
