psalm he says: Thou
wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. (36)For David, having
served his own generation according to the purpose of God, fell
asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. (37)But he,
whom God raised, saw not corruption.

(38)Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that remission of
sins through this man is announced to you; (39)and by him all that
believe are justified from all things, from which ye were not able to
be justified by the law of Moses.

(40)Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken in the
prophets:

(41)Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish;
Because I work a work in your days,
