2 CORINTHIANS 2:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 3
“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.”
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 — thriambeuo (led in triumph) evokes Roman military pageantry where conquered enemies were paraded before the victor. But Paul inverts the image: Christians are captives of Christ, yet this captivity is triumph, not shame. Redemption redefines conquest.
