<p>2:15 <em>For we are a sweet savour of Christ to God in those that are saved and in those that perish- </em>The preacher is his message; if the doctrines of the Gospel are truly in us, then we ourselves will naturally be a witness to it in our lives. The Gospel is the savour of Christ; and yet we personally are the savour (2 Cor. 2:14,15); <em>we</em> are the epistle and Gospel of Christ (2 Cor. 3:3). The &quot;saved&quot; were the Corinthians, in the first context; the perishing were those new ears at Troas who had heard the message. They each had the choice as to how to perceive the savour coming to them.</p>
