For we are unto God, &c.— For, upon God's account, [or, in order that God may be known] we communicate a savoury odour of Christ, to them who are saved, and to them who are not, 2 Corinthians 2:16. To the one we are the savour of death, so as to prove mortal to them; and to the others the savour of life, so as to revive them. The phrase, For upon God's account, is, literally, For God. That God cannot be effectually known, but through Christ, is the constant doctrine of scripture. See Heylin, Mill, and Wall.
