Acts 13:33-43

33 that God has fulfilled this promise to our children in that He 1raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, '2YOU ARE MY SON; TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.'
34 "As for the fact that He 3raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: '4I WILL GIVE YOU THE HOLY and SURE blessings OF DAVID.'
35 "Therefore He also says in another Psalm, '5YOU WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.'
36 "For 6David, after he had served 7the purpose of God in his own generation, 8fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay;
37 but He whom God 9raised did not undergo decay.
38 "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren *, that 10through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
39 and through Him 11everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.
40 "Therefore take heed, so that the thing spoken of 12in the Prophets may not come upon you:
41 '13BEHOLD, YOU SCOFFERS, AND MARVEL, AND PERISH; FOR I AM ACCOMPLISHING A WORK IN YOUR DAYS, A WORK WHICH YOU WILL NEVER * BELIEVE, THOUGH SOMEONE SHOULD DESCRIBE IT TO YOU.' "
42 As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people kept begging that these things might be spoken to them the next 14Sabbath.
43 Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the 15God-fearing 16proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in 17the grace of God.
