Acts 17:26-34 ▼

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.
