New International Reader's Version

Acts 8:19-23 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. He said, "Give me this power too. Then everyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit."

20. Peter answered, "May your money be destroyed with you! Do you think you can buy God's gift with money?

21. You have no part or share in this holy work. Your heart is not right with God.

22. Turn away from this evil sin of yours. Pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.

23. I see that you are very bitter. You are a prisoner of sin."
