Acts

Acts 13:35–38

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.

³⁸Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
