10/18/18 DON'T BE A STINKER

"Dirty me, dirty me,
I'm disgusted with myself."
By the time this happens, we are already an offense.

Make sure that your inner man is giving off the sweet savor of godliness rather than putrid stench of decay and death.

YOUNG'S LITERAL TRANSLATION
2 Corinthians 2:14-17
14 and to God are thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,
15 because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;
16 to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?
17 for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity--but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.
