Psalms 96:8-9
96:8 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves! 1
Bring an offering and enter his courts!
96:9 Worship the Lord in holy attire! 2
Tremble before him, all the earth!
Acts 8:37
8:37 [[EMPTY]]

1 tn Heb “the splendor of [i.e., “due”] his name.”
2 tn Or “in holy splendor.”
3 tc A few later mss (E 36 323 453 945 1739 1891 pc) add, with minor variations, 8:37 “He said to him, ‘If you believe with your whole heart, you may.’ He replied, ‘I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.’” Verse 37 is lacking in {Ì45,74 א A B C 33 614 vg syp,h co}. It is clearly not a part of the original text of Acts. The variant is significant in showing how some in the early church viewed a confession of faith. The present translation follows NA27 in omitting the verse number, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations.
