32 And we (BZ)preach to you the good news of (CA)the promise made to the fathers,

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

32 And we ourselves proclaim to you the good news of the promise that was made to our ancestors.(AG)

32 We're telling you the good news: What God promised our ancestors

32 And we are bringing you the good news of the promise made to our fathers (ancestors),

33 that God has fulfilled this promise (h)to our children in that He (CB)raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘(CC)You are My Son; today i have begotten You.’

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

33 God has fulfilled this for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm:You are My Son;today I have become Your Father.(h)(AH)(i)

33 he has fulfilled for us, their descendants, by raising Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'

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.’(G)

34 As for the fact that He (CD)raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘(CE)I will give you the holy and (i)sure blessings of David.’

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

34 Since He raised Him from the dead, never to return to decay, He has spoken in this way, I will grant you the faithful covenant blessings(j) made to David.(AI)(k)

34 God raised him from the dead, never to experience decay, as he said, "I'll give you the holy promises made to David.'

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].’(H)

35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm, ‘(CF)You will not (j)allow Your (k)Holy One to (l)undergo decay.’

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

35 Therefore He also says in another passage, You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay.(AJ)(l)

35 In another Psalm he says, "You will not let your Holy One experience decay.'

35 For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay.’(I)

36 For (CG)David, after he had (m)served (CH)the purpose of God in his own generation, (CI)fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and (n)underwent decay;

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

36 For David, after serving his own generation in God’s plan, fell asleep,(AK) was buried with his fathers, and decayed.(AL)

36 Now David, after he had served God's purpose in his own generation, died and was buried with his ancestors, and so he experienced decay.

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 (CJ)raised did not (o)undergo decay.

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

37 But the One God raised up did not decay.

37 However, the man whom God raised did not experience decay.

37 but He whom God raised [to life] did not experience decay [in the grave].

38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that (CK)through (p)Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

38 Therefore, let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,(AM)

38 "Therefore, brothers, you must understand that through him the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

38 So let it be clearly known by you, brothers, that through Him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you;

39 and (q)through Him (CL)everyone who believes is (r)freed (s)from all things, from which you could not be (t)freed (u)through the Law of Moses.

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

39 and everyone who believes in Him is justified from everything that you could not be justified from through the law of Moses.(AN)

39 and that everyone who believes in him is justified and freed from everything that kept you from being justified by the Law of Moses.

39 and through Him everyone who believes [who acknowledges Jesus as Lord and Savior and follows Him] is (k)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.

40 Therefore take heed, so that the thing spoken of (CM)in the Prophets may not come upon you:

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

40 So beware that what is said in the prophets does not happen to you:

40 So be careful that what the prophets said doesn't happen to you:

40 Therefore be careful, so that the thing spoken of in the [writings of the] Prophets does not come upon you:

41 (CN)Behold, you scoffers, and marvel, and (v)perish;For I am accomplishing a work in your days,A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’”

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

41 Look, you scoffers,marvel and vanish away,because I am doing a work in your days,a work that you will never believe,even if someone were to explain it to you.(AO)(m)

41 "Look, you mockers! Be amazed and die! Since I am performing an action in your days, one that you would not believe even if someone told you!'"

41 Look, you mockers, and marvel, and perish and vanish away;For I am doing a work in your days,A work which you will never believe, even if someone describes it to you [telling you about it in detail].’”(J)
