Acts chapter 13 v 32-39:
V32-33: So, the message they bring is indeed the promised ” good news”, now fulfilled in Jesus, whose Resurrection too was foretold in OT Scripture. Paul quotes and applies to this the words of Psalm 2 v7, declaring the sonship of God’s Anointed One.
V34-35: Other Scriptures follow – Isaiah 55 v3, Psalm 16 v10 – and Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, remember – says how these verses have their real and fullest meaning in Jesus, whose body did not suffer corruption in the grave, for He was raised again to life.
V36-37: He explains that these verses could not finally be about David himself, for his body, like all others, knew corruption in the tomb – but not so Jesus, raised up by the Father.
V38-39: And Paul now declares how through Jesus, sins can be forgiven. His redeeming and sin -bearing death has done what the Law could never do. God’s law though it was, it could only condemn, not set free, for all have broken it – but in Jesus, grace and mercy are at work to bring forgiveness to all who will trust Him. ( See Galatians 3 v 10-12; Romans 8 v 1-4.)
