Bible in Basic English

For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God in those who are getting salvation and in those who are going to destruction;

To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

“For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing– to the latter an odor from death to death, but to the former a fragrance from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? For we are not like so many others, hucksters who peddle the word of God for profit, but we are speaking in Christ before God as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God.”
