But thanks be to God (2 Cor. 2:14-16a)

But thanks be to God who always leads us

Leads us in triumph

triumph in the Christ

And manifests through us the savor

Savor of the knowledge of Him in every place.

But thanks be to God

Who always leads us

Leads us in the triumph

Triumph in the Christ.

For we are a fragrance of Christ to God

In those who are being saved and those perishing;

To the one a savor

from death unto death

To the other a savor from life unto life.
