rwp@Acts:13:34 @{Now no more to return to corruption} (\mketi mellonta hupostrephein eis diaphthoran\). No longer about to return as Lazarus did. Jesus did not die again and so is the first fruits of the resurrection (1Corinthians:15:23; kjv@Romans:6:9|). {He hath spoken} (\eirken\). Present perfect active indicative, common way of referring to the permanent utterances of God which are on record in the Scriptures. {The holy and sure blessings of David} (\ta hosia Daueid ta pista\). See kjv@2Samuel:7:13|. Literally, "the holy things of David the trustworthy things." He explains "the holy things" at once.
