Acts 8:20

8:20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, ¹  because you thought you could acquire ²  God’s gift with money!

Hebrews 4:12

4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.

[8:20]  ¹ tn Grk “May your silver together with you be sent into destruction.” This is a strong curse. The gifts of God are sovereignly bestowed and cannot be purchased.

[8:20]  ² tn Or “obtain.”
