Context of Acts 13:39

37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 38Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken in the prophets; 41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall by no means believe, though a man declare it to you.
