Acts 17:22–31

²²Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said,

Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too ^rsuperstitious. ²³For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this ^sinscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, ^thim declare I unto you. ^24uGod that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is ^xLord of heaven and earth, ^ydwelleth not in temples ^zmade with hands; ²⁵neither is worshipped with men’s hands, ^aas though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all ^blife, and breath, and all things; ²⁶and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath ^cdetermined the times before appointed, and ^dthe bounds of their habitation; ²⁷that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, ^ethough he be not far from every one of us: ²⁸for ^fin him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of ^gyour own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. ²⁹Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, ^hwe ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. ³⁰And the times of this ignorance God ⁱwinked at; but ^know commandeth all men every where to repent: ³¹because he hath appointed a day, in the which ^lhe will judge ^mthe world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ^cordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that ⁿhe hath raised him from the dead.
