2 CORINTHIANS 2:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“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?”
To the one we are an aroma that brings life; to the other, an aroma that brings death. And who is equal to such a task? — the same gospel produces opposite effects: salvation or condemnation. Paul's rhetorical question ('who is sufficient for these things?') expresses the gravity of apostolic responsibility. The answer is implicit: only God; Paul is merely instrumental.
