32 And we bring you the good news mthat what God promised to the fathers, 33 nthis he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,

o“ ‘You are my Son,

today I have begotten you.’

34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, pqno more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,

“ ‘I will give you rthe holy and sure blessings of David.’

35 Therefore he says also in another psalm,

s“ ‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’

36 For David, after he had tserved the purpose of God in his own generation, ufell asleep and vwas laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom wGod raised up did not see corruption. 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, xthat through this man yforgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him zeveryone who believes is freed3 from everything afrom which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. 40 Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:

41  b“ ‘Look, you scoffers,

be astounded and perish;

for I am doing a work in your days,

a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.’ ”
