Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 13 : 34 - 42
Chapter 13
| 34 | And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: "I will give you the sure mercies of David.'
|
| 35 | Therefore He also says in another Psalm: "You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.'
|
| 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;
|
| 37 | but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.
|
| 38 | Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
|
| 39 | and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
|
| 40 | Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:
|
| 41 | "Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish! For I work a work in your days, A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you."'
|
| 42 | So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
