Acts 8:22

²¹ You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.

²³ For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”

²⁴ Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
