Acts 13:34-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
34As for the fact that He raised Him from the dead, never again to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘I WILL GIVE YOU THE HOLY and faithful mercies of DAVID.’ 35Therefore, He also says in another Psalm: ‘YOU WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.’ 36For David, after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, fell asleep, and was buried among his fathers and underwent decay; 37but He whom God raised did not undergo decay. 38Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses. 40Therefore, see that the thing spoken of in the Prophets does not come upon you:King James Version
Chapter 13
34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. 35Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 36For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; 41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 13
34As to his raising him from the dead, never to return to decay, he has spoken in this way, I will give you the holy and sure promises of David. 35Therefore he also says in another passage, You will not let your Holy One see decay. 36For David, after serving God's purpose in his own generation, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and decayed, 37but the one God raised up did not decay. 38Therefore, let it be known to you, brothers and sisters, that through this man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you. 39Everyone who believes is justified through him from everything that you could not be justified from through the law of Moses. 40So beware that what is said in the prophets does not happen to you:New Living Translation
Chapter 13
34For God had promised to raise him from the dead, not leaving him to rot in the grave. He said, ‘I will give you the sacred blessings I promised to David.’ 35Another psalm explains it more fully: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.’ 36This is not a reference to David, for after David had done the will of God in his own generation, he died and was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed. 37No, it was a reference to someone else — someone whom God raised and whose body did not decay.English Standard Version
36For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption,
37but he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
38Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
39and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
40Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
New International Version
36Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.
37But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
38Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
39Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.
40Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:
New King James Version
36“For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;
37but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.
38Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
39and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:
