Acts 13:32-40

We tell you the Good News about the promise God made to our ancestors. God has made this promise come true for us, his children, by raising Jesus from the dead. We read about this also in Psalm 2: ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.’ God raised Jesus from the dead, and he will never go back to the grave and become dust. So God said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings that I promised to David.’ But in another place God says: ‘You will not let your Holy One rot.’ David did God’s will during his lifetime. Then he died and was buried beside his ancestors, and his body did rot in the grave. But the One God raised from the dead did not rot in the grave. Brothers, understand what we are telling you: You can have forgiveness of your sins through Jesus. The law of Moses could not free you from your sins. But through Jesus everyone who believes is free from all sins. Be careful! Don’t let what the prophets said happen to you
