Acts 13:34
[Now] in regard to God raising Him up from the dead, never to decay, He said this about it [Isa. 55:3], "I will give you the sacred and certain blessings promised to David."

It is the same way with the resurrection of dead people. [A person's body] is buried [only] to decay; it is raised up never to decay again.
