Acts 2:27

2:27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, ¹ 

nor permit your Holy One to experience ²  decay.

Acts 11:8

11:8 But I said, ‘Certainly not, Lord, for nothing defiled or ritually unclean ³  has ever entered my mouth!’

[2:27]  ¹ tn Or “will not abandon my soul to Hades.” Often “Hades” is the equivalent of the Hebrew term Sheol, the place of the dead.

[2:27]  ² tn Grk “to see,” but the literal translation of the phrase “to see decay” could be misunderstood to mean simply “to look at decay,” while here “see decay” is really figurative for “experience decay.”

[11:8]  ³ tn Possibly there is a subtle distinction in meaning between κοινός (koinos) and ἀκάθαρτος (akaqartos) here, but according to L&N 53.39 it is difficult to determine precise differences in meaning based on existing contexts. The sentiment Peter expressed is like Ezek 4:14.
