In context
33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.
34 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David, faithful.
35 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
36 For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers and saw corruption.
37 But he whom God hath raised from the dead saw no corruption.
38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
39 In him every one that believeth is justified.
