Acts 17:22-34

22SoG1161 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 in the midstG3319 of the 1AreopagusG697 and saidG5346, “MenG435 of 2AthensG117, I seeG2334 that you are veryG1175 3religiousG1175 in allG3956 respectsG3956. 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. 246The GodG2316 who madeG4160 the worldG2889 and everythingG3956 that is in it, since He is 7LordG2962 of heavenG3772 and earthG1093, does not 8dwellG2730 in templesG3485 madeG5499 byG5499 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 feelG5584 aroundG5584 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 descendantsG1085.’ 29ThereforeG3767, sinceG3767 we are the descendantsG1085 of GodG2316, we 15oughtG3784 not to thinkG3543 that the DivineG2304 Nature is likeG3664 goldG5557 orG2228 silverG696 orG2228 stoneG3037, an imageG5480 formedG5480 by humanG444 skillG5078 and thoughtG1761. 30SoG3767 having 16overlookedG5237 17the timesG5550 of ignoranceG52, GodG2316 is 18nowG3568 proclaimingG518 to mankindG444 that allG3956 peopleG3956 everywhereG3837 are to repentG3340, 31becauseG2530 He has setG2476 19a dayG2250 on whichG3739 20He willG3195 judgeG2919 2122the worldG3625 in righteousnessG1343 23throughG1722 a ManG435 whomG3739 He has 24appointedG3724, having furnishedG3930 proofG4102 to allG3956 peopleG3956 25by 26raisingG450 Him from the deadG3498.”

32NowG1161 when they heardG191 of 27the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, someG3588G3303 began to scoffG5512, but othersG3588 saidG3004, “We shall hearG191 from you 28againG2532G3825 concerningG4012 thisG3778.” 33SoG3779 PaulG3972 wentG1831 outG1831 from amongG3319 them. 34But someG5100 menG435 joinedG2853 him and believedG4100, amongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 were DionysiusG1354 the 29AreopagiteG698 and a womanG1135 namedG3686 DamarisG1152, and othersG2087 with them.
