1. KJV King James Version

   14 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. 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16 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? 17 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.

2. NIV New International Version

   14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.

3. ESV English Standard Version

   14 But *ch. 8:16;[ch. 9:15]; See Rom. 6:17thanks be to God, who in Christ always *Col. 2:15(Gk.)leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads *Eph. 5:2;Phil. 4:18;[Song 1:3]the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among *See 1 Cor. 1:18those who are being saved and among *ch. 4:3those who are perishing, 16 *[Luke 2:34;John 9:39;1 Pet. 2:7,8] to one a fragrance from death to death, *[Luke 2:34;John 9:39;1 Pet. 2:7,8] to the other a fragrance from life to life. *ch. 3:5,6Who is sufficient for these things? 17 For 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.

4. NLT New Living Translation

   14 But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. 15 Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 16 To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this?

   17 You see, we are not like the many hucksters*2:17 Some manuscripts read the rest of the hucksters. who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.

5. NKJV Nova Versão King James

   14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ *(1 Cor. 1:18)among those who are being saved and *(2 Cor. 4:3)among those who are perishing. 16 *Luke 2:34; (John 9:39; 1 Pet. 2:7)To the one weare the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And *(1 Cor. 15:10)who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, as so many, *2 Pet. 2:3peddling the word of God; but as *1 Cor. 5:8; 2 Cor. 1:12; 1 Thess. 2:4; 1 Pet. 4:11of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

6. NASB New American Standard Bible 2020

   14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place. 15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: 16 to the one an *2:16 Or odoraroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? 17 For we are not like the many, *2:17 Or dilutingpeddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

7. DRA Douay-Rheims American 1899

   14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish. 16 To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient? 17 For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.

8. MSG The Message

   12-14 When I arrived in Troas to proclaim the Message of the Messiah, I found the place wide open: God had opened the door; all I had to do was walk through it. But when I didn’t find Titus waiting for me with news of your condition, I couldn’t relax. Worried about you, I left and came on to Macedonia province looking for Titus and a reassuring word on you. And I got it, thank God!

   14-16 In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is recognized by those on the way of salvation—an aroma redolent with life. But those on the way to destruction treat us more like the stench from a rotting corpse.

   16,17 This is a terrific responsibility. Is anyone competent to take it on? No—but at least we don’t take God’s Word, water it down, and then take it to the streets to sell it cheap. We stand in Christ’s presence when we speak; God looks us in the face. We get what we say straight from God and say it as honestly as we can.
