*
And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers ,
*
this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus ;
as also it is written in the second psalm , `
Thou art my Son ,
today I have begotten thee .'
*
And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead ,
no more to return to corruption ,
he spoke in this way , `
I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David .'
*
Therefore he says also in another psalm , `
Thou wilt not let thy Holy One see corruption .'
*
For David ,
after he had served the counsel of God in his own generation ,
fell asleep ,
and was laid with his fathers ,
and saw corruption ;
*
but he whom God raised up saw no corruption .
*
Let it be known to you therefore ,
brethren ,
that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you ,
*
and by him every one that believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses .
*
Beware ,
therefore ,
lest there come upon you what is said in the prophets :
* `
Behold ,
you scoffers ,
and wonder ,
and perish ;
for I do a deed in your days ,
a deed you will never believe ,
if one declares it to you .'"
