32 And we bring you the good news that what God promised to our ancestors(A) 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children,[a] by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm,

‘You are my Son;
    today I have begotten you.’(B)

34 “As to his raising him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,

‘I will give you the holy promises made to David.’(C)

35 “Therefore he has also said in another psalm,

‘You will not let your Holy One experience corruption.’(D)

36 “For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, died,[b] was laid beside his ancestors, and experienced corruption,(E) 37 but he whom God raised up experienced no corruption. 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers and sisters,[c] that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;(F) 39 by this Jesus[d] everyone who believes is set free from all those sins[e] from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.(G) 40 Beware, therefore, that what the prophets said does not happen to you:(H)

41 ‘Look, you scoffers!
    Be amazed and perish,
for in your days I am doing a work,
    a work that you will never believe, even if someone tells you.’ ”
