32 And we (A)preach to you the good news of (B)the promise made to the fathers, 33 that God has fulfilled this promise to those of us who are the descendants by (C)raising Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘(D)You are My Son; today I have fathered You.’ 34 As for the fact that He (E)raised Him from the dead, never again to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘(F)I will give you the holy and faithful mercies of David.’ 35 Therefore, He also says in another Psalm: ‘(G)You will not [a]allow Your [b]Holy One to [c]undergo decay.’ 36 For (H)David, after he had [d]served God’s (I)purpose in his own generation, (J)fell asleep, and was [e]buried among his fathers and [f]underwent decay; 37 but He whom God (K)raised did not [g]undergo decay. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, [h]brothers, that (L)through [i]Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and [j]through Him (M)everyone who believes is [k]freed [l]from all things, from which you could not be [m]freed [n]through the Law of Moses. 40 Therefore, see that the thing spoken of (N)in the Prophets does not come upon you:

41 (O)Look, you scoffers, and be astonished, and [o]perish;
For I am accomplishing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’”
