³² And we are bringing you the good news of the promise made to our fathers (ancestors), ³³ that God has completely fulfilled this promise to our children by raising up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘You are My Son; today I have begotten (fathered) You.’^{(A) 34} And [as for the fact] that He raised Him from the dead, never again to return to decay [in the grave], He has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David [those blessings and mercies that were promised to him].’^{(B) 35} For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay.’^{(C) 36} For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was buried among his fathers and experienced decay [in the grave]; ³⁷ but He whom God raised [to life] did not experience decay [in the grave]. ³⁸ So let it be clearly known by you, brothers, that through Him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you; ³⁹ and through Him everyone who believes [who acknowledges Jesus as Lord and Savior and follows Him] is ^[a]justified and declared free of guilt from all things, from which you could not be justified and freed of guilt through the Law of Moses.
