Acts 17:22-29

22And PaulG3972 stoodG2476 in the midstG3319 of the Areopagus, and saidG5346,

Ye menG435 of Athens, in all thingsG3956 I perceive that ye are very religious. 23For as I passedG1330 along, and observed the objects of your worshipG4574, I foundG2147 alsoG2532 an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWNG50 GODG2316. What thereforeG3767 ye worshipG4574 in ignorance, this I set forth unto you. 24The GodG2316 that madeG4160 the worldG2889 and all thingsG3778 therein, he, being LordG2962 of heavenG3772 and earthG1093, dwelleth not in templesG3485 madeG4160 with handsG5499; 25neither is he served by men’s handsG5495, as though he needed anythingG5100, seeing he himself giveth to all lifeG2222, and breath, and all thingsG3956; 26and he madeG4160 of oneG1520 every nationG1484 of menG444 to dwellG2730 on all the faceG4383 of the earthG1093, having determined their appointed seasonsG2540, and the bounds of their habitation; 27that they should seekG2212 GodG2316, if haply they might feel after him and findG2147 him, though he is not farG3112 from each oneG1520 of us: 28for in him we liveG2198, and moveG2795, and have our beingG1510; as certainG5100 evenG2532 of your own poets have saidG3004,

For we areG1510 alsoG2532 his offspringG1085.

29BeingG1510 then the offspringG1085 of GodG2316, we oughtG3784 not to thinkG3543 that the Godhead isG1510 like unto goldG5557, or silverG696, or stoneG3037, graven by art and device of manG444.
