Paul Addresses the Areopagus
Act 17:22 Then Paul stood in front of the Areopagus and said, "Athenians, I see how extremely religious you are in every way.
Act 17:23 For as I went through the city and looked carefully at the objects of your worship, I found among them an altar with the inscription, 'To an unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.
Act 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, he who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by human hands,
Act 17:25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things.
Act 17:26 From one ancestor he made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live,
Act 17:27 so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for him and find him—though indeed he is not far from each one of us.
Act 17:28 For 'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.'
Act 17:29 Since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of mortals.
Act 17:30 While God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
Act 17:31 because he has fixed a day on which he will have the world judged in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."
Act 17:32 When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some scoffed; but others said, "We will hear you again about this."
Act 17:33 At that point Paul left them.
