Acts 17:24-34

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.

30Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

31because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

32And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.”

33So Paul departed from among them.

34However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
