God's Word Translation

Acts 8:18-22 God's Word Translation (GW)

18. Simon saw that the Spirit was given to the Samaritans when the apostles placed their hands on them. So he offered Peter and John money

19. and said, “Give me this power so that anyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit.”

20. Peter told Simon, “May your money be destroyed with you because you thought you could buy God’s gift.

21. You won’t have any share in this because God can see how twisted your thinking is.

22. So change your wicked thoughts, and ask the Lord if he will forgive you for thinking like this.
