Acts 17:20-23

20For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean.” 21(Now all the Athenians and the strangers 1visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

22So Paul stood in the midst of the 2Areopagus and said, “Men of 3Athens, I observe that you are very 4religious in all respects. 23For while I was passing through and examining the 5objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what 6you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.
