Acts 17:22-34 - Paul Speaks To The Areopagus
22 Then Paul stood up in the middle of the council and said, "Men of Athens, from every point of view I see that you are extremely religious. 23 For as I was going about and looking at the things you worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: 'To an Unknown God.' So it is what you already worship in ignorance that I am now telling you of. 24 God who created the world and all that is in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples built by human hands, 25 nor is he waited on by human hands as though he were in need of anything, for he himself gives all men life and breath and everything. 26 From one forefather he has created every nation of mankind, and made them live all over the face of the earth, fixing their appointed times and the limits of their lands, 27 so that they might search for God, and perhaps grope for him and find him, though he is never far from any of us. 28 For it is through union with him that we live and move and exist, as some of your poets have said, " 'For we are also his offspring.' 29 So if we are God's children we ought not to imagine that the divine nature is like gold or silver or stone, wrought by human art and thought.
30 While God overlooked those times of ignorance, he now calls upon all men everywhere to repent, 31 since he has fixed a day on which he will justly judge the world through a man whom he has appointed, and whom he has guaranteed to all men by raising him from the dead."
32 When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, "We should like to hear you again on this subject." 33 So Paul left the council. 34 Some persons joined him, however, and became believers, among them Dionysius, a member of the council, and a woman named Damaris, and some others.
