Acts 17:22-29

22SoG1161 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 in the midstG3319 of the 1AreopagusG697 and saidG5346, “MenG435 of 2AthensG117, I observeG2334 that you are veryG1175 3religiousG1175 in allG3956 respectsG3956.

23For while I was passingG1330 throughG1330 and examiningG333 the 4objectsG4574 of your worshipG4574, I alsoG2532 foundG2147 an altarG1041 with thisG3739 inscriptionG1924, ‘TO AN UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316.’ ThereforeG3767 whatG3739 5you worshipG2151 in ignoranceG50, thisG3778 I proclaimG2605 to you.

246The GodG2316 who madeG4160 the worldG2889 and allG3956 thingsG3956 in it, since He is 7LordG2962 of heavenG3772 and earthG1093, does not 8dwellG2730 in templesG3485 madeG5499 with handsG5499;

25norG3761 is He servedG2323 by humanG442 handsG5495, 9as though He neededG4326 anythingG5100, since He HimselfG846 givesG1325 to allG3956 people lifeG2222 and breathG4157 and allG3956 thingsG3956;

26and 10He madeG4160 from oneG1520 man everyG3956 nationG1484 of mankindG444 to liveG2730 on allG3956 the faceG4383 of the earthG1093, having 11determinedG3724 their appointedG4367 timesG2540 and the boundariesG3734 of their habitationG2733,

27that they would seekG2212 GodG2316, ifG1487 perhapsG686 they might gropeG5584 for Him and findG2147 Him, 12thoughG2532G1065 He is not farG3112 from eachG1538 oneG1520 of us;

28for 13in Him we liveG2198 and moveG2795 and 14existG1510, as evenG2532 someG5100 of your own poetsG4163 have saidG3004, ‘For we alsoG2532 are His childrenG1085.’

29BeingG5225 thenG3767 the childrenG1085 of GodG2316, we 15oughtG3784 not to thinkG3543 that the DivineG2304 NatureG2304 is likeG3664 goldG5557 orG2228 silverG696 orG2228 stoneG3037, an imageG5480 formedG5480 by the artG5078 and thoughtG1761 of manG444.
