To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

To{G3739} the one{G3303} we are the savour{G3744} of death{G2288} unto{G1519} death{G2288}; and{G1161} to the other{G3739} the savour{G3744} of life{G2222} unto{G1519} life{G2222}. And{G2532} who{G5101} is sufficient{G2425} for{G4314} these things{G5023}?
Strong's King James
(16) Surely to one its the smell of death into death and to another, the fragrance of zoe-life into zoe-life and who is considered towards this?
The F.O.G
[16] To those rejecting salvation, we smell like death - a reminder of their chosen fate. But to those embracing life in the Messiah, we're the sweet fragrance of life itself. Who is qualified to carry such weighty responsibility?
The F.O.G Paraphrase
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?
Young's Literal Translation
