Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
32 And we are announcing-as-good-news-to you the promise having been made to the fathers— 33 that God has fulfilled this promise for us their children, having raised-up[a] Jesus, as it has also been written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son. Today I have fathered You’ [Ps 2:7]. 34 And that[b] He raised Him up from the dead as One no longer going to return to decay, He has spoken in this manner [in Isa 55:3]: that ‘I will give You the holy, trustworthy[c] things of [d] David’. 35 Therefore[e] also in another place it says, ‘You will not give[f] Your holy One to see[g] decay’ [Ps 16:10]. 36 For David, having served the purpose[h] of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was put-with[i] his fathers, and saw decay. 37 But He Whom God raised did not see decay.
Forgiveness Is Now Being Proclaimed To You. Don’t Be Scoffers
38 “Therefore let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you. And from all things from which you could not be declared-righteous by the Law of Moses— 39 by[j] this One everyone believing is declared-righteous. 40 Therefore be watching-out that the thing having been spoken in the Prophets [in Hab 1:5] may not come upon you: 41 ‘Look, scoffers, and marvel and perish. Because I am working a work in your days, a work which you will never believe if someone tells you in detail’”.
