Acts 2:28

2:28 You have made known to me the paths of life;

you will make me full of joy with your presence.’ ¹ 

Acts 13:10

13:10 and said, “You who are full of all deceit and all wrongdoing, ²  you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness – will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? ³ 

[2:28]  ¹ sn A quotation from Ps 16:8-11.

[13:10]  ² tn Or “unscrupulousness.”

[13:10]  ³ sn “You who…paths of the Lord?” This rebuke is like ones from the OT prophets: Jer 5:27; Gen 32:11; Prov 10:7; Hos 14:9. Five separate remarks indicate the magician’s failings. The closing rhetorical question of v. 10 (“will you not stop…?”) shows how opposed he is to the way of God.
