riversident - 2Corinthians:2:12-3:6

riversident@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I came to Troas for the good news of Christ and a door had been opened for me in the Lord,

riversident@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find Titus my brother, but bidding them farewell I came away to Macedonia.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:14 @ Thanks be to God who always leads us in his triumph in Christ and spreads through us the sweet odor of the knowledge of him in every place.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are for God a sweet odor of Christ \'97 in the saved and in the perishing.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the latter an odor from death to death, to the former an odor from life to life. And who is competent for this?

riversident@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like the most, adulterating the message of God for gain, but in sincerity, as from God, in the presence of God, we speak in Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:1 @ ARE we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

riversident@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,

riversident@2Corinthians:3:3 @ evidently a letter of Christ delivered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets, but on tablets that are hearts of flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:4 @ We have such confidence through Christ toward God.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that of ourselves we are fit to reason out anything as from ourselves, but our fitness is from God,

riversident@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has fitted us to be servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.
