New King James Version
21 And it shall come to pass
That (A)whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you (B)by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, (C)being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, (D)you [a]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 (E)whom God raised up, having [b]loosed the [c]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:
(F)‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see (G)corruption.

22 “Men of Israel, listen to these words: (B)Jesus the Nazarene, (C)a Man [a]attested to you by God with [b]miracles and (D)wonders and [c]signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— 23 this Man, delivered over by the (E)predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, (F)you nailed to a cross by the hands of [d]godless men and put Him to death. 24 [e]But (G)God raised Him from the dead, putting an end to the [f]agony of death, since it (H)was impossible for Him to be held [g]in its power. 25 For David says of Him,
‘(I)I saw the Lord continually before me,
Because He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue was overjoyed;
Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;
27 For You will not abandon my soul to (J)Hades,
(K)Nor will You [h]allow Your [i]Holy One to [j]undergo decay.

‘And it shall be that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord Jesus] shall be saved (rescued spiritually).’(A)
22 “Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man accredited and pointed out and attested to you by God with [the power to perform] miracles and wonders and signs which God worked through Him in your [very] midst, just as you yourselves know— 23 this Man, when handed over [to the Roman authorities] according to the predetermined decision and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross and put to death by the hands of lawless and godless men. 24 But God raised Him up, releasing Him and bringing an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in death’s power. 25 For David says of Him,
‘I saw the Lord constantly before me;
For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken [from my state of security].
26
‘Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted exceedingly;
Moreover my flesh also will live in hope [that is, will encamp in anticipation of the resurrection];
27
‘For You will not forsake me and abandon my soul to Hades (the realm of the dead),
Nor let Your Holy One undergo decay [after death].

22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth(C) was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs,(D) which God did among you through him,(E) as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge;(F) and you, with the help of wicked men,[b] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.(G) 24 But God raised him from the dead,(H) freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.(I) 25 David said about him:
“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
you will not let your holy one see decay.(J)

King James Version
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
