But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.” | Then Peter asked, “Ananias, why has Satan so gained control of your heart that you lied to the Holy Spirit and retained part of the sale price of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not belong to you? And after it was sold, were not the proceeds yours? What caused you to contrive this scheme? You have lied not to men but to God.” |
And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him. | And we are witnesses to these things, as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him. |
And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus. | And every day, both in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming Jesus as the Christ. |
