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 Corinthians 2:14-17 Paul gives thanks to God for the door that was opened for him to minister. Being thankful to God, that they triumph in Christ, converting sinners by the word of Christ's Gospel. Paul's work and his fellow laborers are pleasing to God, doing the work Christ set before them, to those who received Christ, they received eternal life, to those who refused, they perish. Christ being the eternal Judge. And Paul is sure of his reward, for he preached the word of God in truth, the pure word, knowing God was watching him. Amen.
