Acts 17:24-34 ▼

24 The God Who made the world and all things therein, The Same being Lord of Heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands,

25 nor is ministered to by human hands, as if needing anything; Himself giving to all life, and breath, and all things;

26 and He made of one every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;

27 that they should seek God, if, perhaps, they might feel after Him, and find Him , although, in truth, He is not far from each one of us;

28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His offspring.'

29 "Being, therefore, God's offspring, we ought not to suppose that the God-head is like gold, or silver, or stone, graven by man's art and device!

30 God, therefore, having overlooked the time of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent;

31 inasmuch as He appointed a day in which He intendeth to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness, by a Man Whom He appointed, having given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead."

32 And, hearing of the resurrection of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking; but others said, "We will hear you concerning this yet again."

33 Thus Paul went forth out of their midst.

34 But certain men, joining themselves to him, believed; among whom also were Dionysius—the Areopagite—and a woman, Damaris by name, and others with them.
