Acts 13:30-39

New International Version

³⁰But God raised him from the dead,^(A) ³¹and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.^(B) They are now his witnesses^(C) to our people.

³²“We tell you the good news:^(D) What God promised our ancestors^(E) ³³he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.^(F) As it is written in the second Psalm:

“‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.’^[a]^(G)

³⁴God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,

“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’^[b]^(H)

³⁵So it is also stated elsewhere:

“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’^[c]^(I)

³⁶“Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep;^(J) he was buried with his ancestors^(K) and his body decayed. ³⁷But the one whom God raised from the dead^(L) did not see decay.

³⁸“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.^(M) ³⁹Through him everyone who believes^(N) is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.^(O)
