Buta thanks [be] to God that always leadeth us in triumphb in Christ, and maketh manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.

WK Translation Notes

a
Verse 14 would be weakened by the separation of a paragraph from the preceding verses.
b
Some translate it "to cause to triumph," instead of lead in triumph, as they should. It really makes it to be the apostle’s triumph rather than God’s.
