Acts 17:28-34

28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’1 As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’2 29Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.

30Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent. 31For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

32When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.” 33At that, Paul left the Areopagus. 34But some3 joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
