[18] And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, '''he offered them money''',
[19] Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
[20] But Peter said unto him, '''Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money'''. 
[21] Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for '''thy heart is not right in the sight of God'''. 
[22] Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 
[23] For I perceive that thou art in the '''gall of bitterness''', and in the bond of iniquity.
