Acts 17:22-34 - Paul Speaks To The Areopagus
22 So Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe at every turn that you are a most religious people. 23 Why, as I passed along and scanned your objects of worship, I actually came upon an altar with the inscription TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Well, I proclaim to you what you worship in your ignorance. 24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, as Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in shrines that are made by human hands; 25 he is not served by human hands as if he needed anything, for it is he who gives life and breath and all things to all men. 26 All nations he has created from a common origin, to dwell all over the earth, fixing their allotted periods and the boundaries of their abodes, 27 meaning them to seek for God on the chance of finding him in their groping for him. Though indeed he is close to each one of us, 28 for it is in him that we live and move and exist ??as some of your own poets have said, 'We too belong to His race.' 29 Well, as the race of God, we ought not to imagine that the divine nature resembles gold or silver or stone, the product of human art and invention.
30 Such ages of ignorance God overlooked, but he now charges men that they are all everywhere to repent, 31 inasmuch as he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world justly by a man whom he has destined for this. And he has given proof of this to all by raising him from the dead."
32 But on hearing of a 'resurrection of dead men,' some sneered, while others said, "We will hear you again on that subject." 33 So Paul withdrew from them. 34 Some men, however, did join him and believe, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman called Damaris, and some others.
