To the one we are the fragrance of death unto death; and to the other the fragrance of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

AD 400
To unbelievers the preaching of the cross is the smell of death. On hearing the Word of God they receive it as if it were a plague from which death knocks on the door. But to others it is the fragrance of life. To believers the Word of God is a messenger of eternal life. It affects them in accordance with their faith. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
