Acts 17:22-34 - Paul Speaks To The Areopagus

22 And standing in the middle of the Areopagus, Paul said, Men, Athenians, I see that you are fearful of gods in everything. 23 For as I passed by and saw the things you worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Not knowing then whom you worship, I make Him known to you. 24 The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands, 25 nor is served with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives life and breath and all things to all. 26 And He has made all nations of men of one blood to dwell on all the face of the earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling, 27 to seek the Lord, if perhaps they might feel after Him and find Him, though indeed He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also certain of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring. 29 Then being offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, engraved by art and man's imagination.

30 Truly, then, God overlooking the times of ignorance, now He strictly commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He appointed, having given proof to all by raising Him from the dead.

32 And hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked; and others said, We will hear you again concerning this. 33 And so Paul departed from among them. 34 But certain men joined themselves to him and believed; among whom were Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
