BE SURE
YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT!
Acts 5:1-11
King James Version (KJV)
5 But a
certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back
part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part,
and laid it at the
apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan
filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price
of the land? 4 Whiles it
remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own
power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and
great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and
buried him. 7 And it
was about the space of three
hours after, when his wife,
not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto
her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so
much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye
have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them
which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she
down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her
dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon
all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
