Kisah Para Rasul 8:20-21

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! 8:21 You have no share or part ³  in this matter ⁴  because your heart is not right before God!

[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.”

[8:21]  ³ tn The translation “share or part” is given by L&N 63.13.

[8:21]  ⁴ tn Since the semantic range for λόγος (logos) is so broad, a number of different translations could be given for the prepositional phrase here. Something along the lines of “in this thing” would work well, but is too colloquial for the present translation.
