²⁹ “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about ^(E)the patriarch David ^(F)that he both died and ^(G)was buried, and ^(H)his tomb is with us to this day. ^30 (I)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that ^(J)God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, ³¹ he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that ^(K)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³⁵ Therefore he says also in another psalm,

³⁶ For David, after he had ^(B)served the purpose of God in his own generation, ^(C)fell asleep and ^(D)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, ³⁷ but he whom ^(E)God raised up did not see corruption. ³⁸ Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, ^(F)that through this man ^(G)forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

¹⁸ and the living one. ^(A)I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and ^(B)I have the keys of Death and Hades.

¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^(A)Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^(B)according to what they had done.

²³ and in ^(A)Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and ^(B)saw Abraham far off and Lazarus ^(C)at his side.

³⁵ And the angel answered her, ^(A)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of ^(B)the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born^[a] will be called ^(C)holy—^(D)the Son of God.
