Acts 2:26-27

nor permit your Holy One to experience[c] decay.
Footnotes
- Acts 2:26 tn Grk “my flesh.”
- Acts 2:27 tn Or “will not abandon my soul to Hades.” Often “Hades” is the equivalent of the Hebrew term Sheol, the place of the dead.
- Acts 2:27 tn Grk “to see,” but the literal translation of the phrase “to see decay” could be misunderstood to mean simply “to look at decay,” while here “see decay” is really figurative for “experience decay.”
