Acts 17:22-34 - Paul Speaks To The Areopagus
22 And Paul having stood in the midst of Mars' hill, said, Men, Athenians, I see that in all things ye have a superstitious fear of divinity. 23 For having passed by, and beholding your venerations, I found also an altar upon which was inscribed, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom not knowing therefore ye reverence, him I announce to you. 24 God having made the world and all things in it, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made by hands; 25 Nor is served by men's hands, standing in need of anything, he giving to all life, and breath, and all things. 26 And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having limited the times before arranged, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 To seek the Lord, if perchance indeed they have felt for him, and found, although not being far from each one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and are; as certain of the composers among you have said, For we also are his race. 29 Being therefore the posterity of God, we ought not to think gold, or silver, or stone, an engraving of art, or meditation of man, the divinity to be like.
30 Therefore truly, God having overlooked the times of ignorance, now announces to all men everywhere to repent: 31 Wherefore he set a day, in which he is about to judge the habitable globe in justice by the man whom he appointed; having offered faith to all, having raised him from the dead.
32 And having heard of the rising up of the dead, they treated with mockery; and said, We will hear thee again concerning this. 33 And so Paul went forth from the midst of them. 34 And certain men having joined him, believed: among whom also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
