13I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother, but taking my leaue of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. 14Now thankes bee vnto God, which alwayes causeth vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place. 15For wee are vnto God, a sweet sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them that perish. 16To the one wee are the sauour of death vnto death; and to the other, the sauour of life vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things? 17For wee are not as many which corrupt the word of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God, in the sight of God speake we in Christ.
