Description

Scholars have long puzzled over the diction and imagery that Paul employs in 2 Cor 2:14-17, where, from an attempt to account for his prior travels, he shifts abruptly into a prayer of thanksgiving. Most exegetes concentrate their attention on the word [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] in 2:14, rendered above as "leads ... in triumph" and on the relationship, if any, between this word and the odor imagery that pervades w. 15-16. Comparatively little attention has been lavished on the peddlers ([TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII]) ofv. 17, and almost none on what role the image of the peddler might play in connection with the scene detailed in the preceding verses.
