Acts 17:22-34 - Paul Speaks To The Areopagus
22 Then Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus said, Ye men of Athens, I observe that in all things ye are too much devoted to the worship of daemons. 23 For as I walked about, and attentively viewed the objects of your worship, I found even an altar on which was this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you in ignorance adore, him I preach unto you. 24 The God who created the world, and all things in it, he that is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples of man's construction; 25 nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed any creature, himself imparting to all beings life, and breath, and all things. 26 And hath made from one man's blood all the nations of mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, fixing the predetermined periods of their existence, and the boundaries of their several abodes; 27 that they should seek the Lord, if indeed they might haply grope him out, and find him, though truly he is not far from any individual of us: 28 for from him we derive life, and power of motion, and existence; as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are even his offspring." 29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divinity is like to gold, or silver, or stone sculptured by human art or contrivance.
30 These times indeed of ignorance God then overlooked; but he now commands all men in every place to repent: 31 because he hath fixed the day in which he will judge the whole world in righteousness by the man whom he hath appointed; affording evidence of this to all, by raising him from the dead.
32 But when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, Some scoffed: and others said, We will hear thee again on this subject. 33 And so Paul departed from the midst of them. 34 But certain persons cleaving to him, believed: among whom was even Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
