11So that Satan may not get the better of us: for we are not without knowledge of his designs.
12Now when I came to Troas for the good news of Christ, and there was an open door for me in the Lord,
13I had no rest in my spirit because Titus my brother was not there: so I went away from them, and came into Macedonia.
14But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.
15For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God in those who are getting salvation and in those who are going to destruction;
16To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?
17For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.
