Acts 17:22-29

22So Paul stood before the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in all respects.

23For as I went around and observed closely your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: ‘To an unknown god.’ Therefore what you worship without knowing it, this I proclaim to you.

24The God who made the world and everything in it, who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands,

25nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives life and breath and everything to everyone.

26From one man he made every nation of the human race to inhabit the entire earth, determining their set times and the fixed limits of the places where they would live,

27so that they would search for God and perhaps grope around for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

28For in him we live and move about and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we too are his offspring.’

29So since we are God’s offspring, we should not think the deity is like gold or silver or stone, an image made by human skill and imagination.
