Acts 13:39
37 But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
40 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
41 ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
