Acts 17:21-32
21(ForG1161 allG3956 the AtheniansG117 andG2532 strangersG3581 whichG3588 were thereG1927 spent their timeG2119 inG1519 nothingG3762 elseG2087, but eitherG2228 to tellG3004, orG2532 to hearG191 someG5100 new thingG2537.)
22ThenG1161 PaulG3588G3972 stoodG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of Mars’G3588G697 hillG697, and saidG5346, Ye menG435 of AthensG117, I perceiveG2334 that inG2596 all thingsG3956 yeG4771 areG5613 too superstitiousG1174. 23ForG1063 as I passed byG1330, andG2532 beheldG333 yourG4771 devotionsG3588G4574, I foundG2147 an altarG1041 withG1722 thisG3739 inscriptionG1924, TO THE UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316. WhomG3739 thereforeG3767 ye ignorantlyG50 worshipG2151, himG3778 declareG2605 IG1473 unto youG4771. 24GodG3588G2316 that madeG4160 the worldG3588G2889 andG2532 all thingsG3956 thereinG846, seeing that heG3778 isG5225 LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499; 25NeitherG3761 is worshippedG2323 withG5259 men’sG444 handsG5495, as though he neededG4326 any thingG5100, seeing heG846 givethG1325 to allG3956 lifeG2222, andG2532 breathG4157, andG2532 all thingsG3588G3956; 26AndG5037 hath madeG4160 ofG1537 oneG1520 bloodG129 allG3956 nationsG1484 of menG444 for to dwellG2730 onG1909 allG3956 the faceG3588G4383 of the earthG3588G1093, and hath determinedG3724 the timesG2540 before appointedG4384, andG2532 the boundsG3588G3734 of theirG846 habitationG3588G2733; 27That they should seekG2212 the LordG3588G2962, ifG1487 haplyG1065 they might feel afterG5584 himG846, andG2532 findG2147 himG846, thoughG2544 he beG5225 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG1473: 28ForG1063 inG1722 himG846 we liveG2198, andG2532 moveG2795, andG2532 have our beingG1510; asG5613 certainG5100 alsoG2532 ofG2596 your ownG4771 poetsG3588G4163 have saidG2046, ForG1063 we areG1510 alsoG2532 his offspringG3588G1085. 29Forasmuch thenG3767 as we areG5225 the offspringG1085 of GodG3588G2316, we oughtG3784 notG3756 to think thatG3543 the GodheadG2304 isG1510 like untoG3664 goldG5557, orG2228 silverG696, orG2228 stoneG3037, gravenG5480 by artG5078 andG2532 man’sG444 deviceG1761. 30AndG3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG3588G52 GodG3588G2316 winked atG5237; butG3588 nowG3568 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG3588G444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340: 31BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3588G3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
32AndG1161 when they heardG191 of the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, someG3588 mockedG5512: andG1161 othersG3588 saidG3004, We will hearG191 theeG4771 againG3825 ofG4012 thisG3778 matter.
