23For while I was passingG1330 throughG1330 and examiningG333 the 4objectsG4574 ofG4574 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.

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;
