Acts 8:18-22

18NowG1161 when SimonG4613 sawG3708 that the SpiritG4151 was bestowedG1325 throughG1223 the layingG1936 on of the apostles’G652 handsG5495, he offeredG4374 them moneyG5536,

19sayingG3004, “GiveG1325 thisG3778 authorityG1849 to me as wellG2532, soG2443 that everyoneG1437 on whomG3739 I layG2007 my handsG5495 may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.”

20But PeterG4074 saidG3004 to him, “May your silverG694 perishG684 with you, becauseG3754 you thoughtG3543 you could 1obtainG2932 the giftG1431 of GodG2316 with moneyG5536!

21You have 2noG3756 partG3310 orG3761 portionG2819 in thisG3778 3matterG3056, for your heartG2588 is not 4rightG2117 beforeG1725 GodG2316.

22ThereforeG3767 repentG3340 of thisG3778 wickednessG2549 of yoursG4771, and prayG1189 the LordG2962 that, 5ifG1487 possibleG686, the intentionG1963 of your heartG2588 may be forgivenG863 you.
