New Century Version

Acts 13:35-41 New Century Version (NCV)

35. But in another place God says:‘You will not let your Holy One rot.’

36. 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.

37. But the One God raised from the dead did not rot in the grave.

38-39. 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.

40. Be careful! Don’t let what the prophets said happen to you:

41. ‘Listen, you people who doubt!You can wonder, and then die.I will do something in your lifetimethat you won’t believe even when you are told about it!’ ”
