And Jehovah smelled a soothing aroma. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground because of man, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again smite every living thing as I have done.

And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar with smoke. It is a burnt offering unto Jehovah; it is a soothing aroma, an offering by fire unto Jehovah.

And you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar with smoke as a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma before Jehovah. It is an offering by fire unto Jehovah.

I will accept you as a soothing aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the lands where you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the nations.

And walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

But also if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

And now, says Jehovah who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I shall be glorious in the eyes of Jehovah, and My God shall be My strength.

And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
