We are the fragrance of Christ before God.

We thank God, who always leads us triumphantly in Christ

and spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere through us.

We are the fragrance of Christ before God,

both among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

To the latter, we are a smell of death leading to death;

to the former, a fragrance that brings life.

We are not like those who peddle the word of God for profit.

On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.

(2 Corinthians 2:14-17).

We are God's family.

By God's grace, we who believe in Jesus Christ

are saints, citizens of heaven, and God's family

(Ephesians 2:8, 19).

We must live as saints who have been called by God.

We must live as saints who have been called by God.

We must always be humble, gentle, tolerant of one another with patience and love.

We must also strive to get along well, united by the Holy Spirit

(Ephesians 4:1-3).
