Certain

Upon Paul's arrival, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood round him, and brought many grave charges against him which they were unable to substantiate.

But since these are questions about words and names and your Law, you yourselves must see to them. I refuse to be a judge in such matters."

and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.

Superstition

So Paul, taking his stand in the centre of the Areopagus, spoke as follows: "Men of Athens, I perceive that you are in every respect remarkably religious.

Which

beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."

This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.

seeing that He has appointed a day on which, before long, He will judge the world in righteousness, through the instrumentality of a man whom He has pre-destined to this work, and has made the fact certain to every one by raising Him from the dead."

Having, however, obtained the help which is from God, I have stood firm until now, and have solemnly exhorted rich and poor alike, saying nothing except what the Prophets and Moses predicted as soon to happen,

For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures;

I died; but I am now alive until the Ages of the Ages, and I have the keys of the gates of Death and of Hades!
