Acts

Acts 13:34–37

³⁴In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said:

‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’^d

³⁵So also, He says in another Psalm:

‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’^e

³⁶For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay. ³⁷But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
