Who are we? Are we the aroma of death leading to death, or the aroma of life leading to life?

Too many of us start out with all good intentions of being steadfast in Christ, but begin peddling the word of God, and as a result, we are no longer the fragrance of Christ, teaching his good word which leads to renewed life in Christ, but the aroma of death leading to death. We need to conduct ourselves in the world, in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshy wisdom which corrupts, but by the grace of God, which saves us, and others, who look up to us. Then, we will become the fragrance of Christ through which diffuses his knowledge throughout the whole wide world. Praise the Lord!
