4. Aroma of Christ "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” (Gal. 2:20)

5. Aroma of Christ But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. (2 Cor. 2:14) For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; (2 Cor. 2:15)

6. Aroma of Christ to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? (2 Cor. 2:16) For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. (2 Cor. 2:17)
