2 CORINTHIANS 2:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:”
For we are to God the pleasing aroma (osmē) of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing — the aroma of Christ functions redemptively or judgmentally depending on the hearer's response. The incense metaphor recalls Old Testament temple sacrifice, but Paul extends it: Christian presence itself emanates Christ's fragrance.
