14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of ______ leading to ______, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. -2 Cor 2:14-16
- A.
Peace
- B.
Joy
- C.
Death
Correct Answer
C. DeathExplanation
The correct answer is "death" because in this passage, the apostle Paul is using the metaphor of fragrance to describe the influence and impact that believers have on others. To those who are perishing (spiritually), the message of Christ can be seen as the aroma of death, as it confronts them with their need for salvation and the consequences of rejecting it. However, to those who are being saved, the message of Christ is the aroma of life, leading them to eternal life through faith in Christ.Rate this question:

7... if the ministry of _____, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? -2 Cor 3:7-8
- A.
Life
- B.
The law
- C.
Death
Correct Answer
C. DeathExplanation
The correct answer is "death." The passage is contrasting the ministry of the law, which was written and engraved on stones and brought death, with the ministry of the Spirit, which is more glorious. The glory of Moses' countenance, which came from the ministry of the law, was passing away. Therefore, the ministry of death (the law) is being contrasted with the ministry of the Spirit, which is more glorious and brings life.Rate this question:

- A.

- B.
God's rules for his people

15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a _____ lies on their heart. -2 Cor 3:15
- A.
Feeling of joy
- B.
Veil
- C.
Fear of God
Correct Answer
B. VeilExplanation
The correct answer is "veil." In this verse, the Apostle Paul is referring to the Old Testament practice of Moses veiling his face after speaking with God, as described in Exodus 34:29-35. Paul is using this imagery to illustrate that there is still a spiritual veil that prevents people from fully understanding and accepting the message of Moses, which ultimately points to Jesus Christ. This veil represents a spiritual blindness or hardness of heart that can only be removed through faith in Christ.Rate this question:

- A.
In heaven
- B.
In the temple
- C.
In a mirror
Correct Answer
C. In a mirrorExplanation
The correct answer is "in a mirror." This verse from 2 Corinthians 3:18 is referring to the transformation that believers undergo as they behold the glory of the Lord. The phrase "with unveiled face" suggests that believers have direct access to God's glory, and the phrase "in a mirror" implies that this beholding is done through reflection or contemplation. By looking into the mirror of God's Word, believers are able to see and experience the glory of the Lord, which leads to their transformation into His image.Rate this question:
