“To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things?”

Verse in context — 2 Corinthians 2

Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things?

For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Paul’s defense of his ministry and encouragement in hardship.
