ACTS 13:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated thus: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David' — Isaiah 55:3 is quoted to establish that Jesus fulfills the Davidic covenant (diathēkē). The phrase never to decay (to diaphthorēn) emphasizes resurrection's permanence, contrasting Jesus' imperishability with David's mortal remains, grounding eternal hope in the risen Christ.
