Acts 17:22-29

22Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;

23for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

24“God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

25Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

26And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

27so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

28for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

29Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.
