[Now] in regard to God raising Him up from the dead, never to decay, He said this about it [Isa. 55:3], ‘I will give you the sacred and certain blessings promised to David.’
But God raised Him up, having released Him from the sharp pains [He experienced when dying], because it was not possible that He could be held in death’s grip.
and has now fulfilled to [us], their children, in raising up Jesus [to be the Messiah], just as it was written in the second Psalm [2:7]: ‘You [i.e., Jesus] are my Son; this day I have become Your Father.’
