Acts 8:18-22

18Now Simon, when he saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, offered them money,

19saying, “Give me this power too, so that everyone I place my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”

20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could acquire God’s gift with money!

21You have no share or part in this matter because your heart is not right before God!

22Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that he may perhaps forgive you for the intent of your heart.
