Acts 17:27-34

27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, ¹though * He is not far from each one of us;

28 for ²in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.'

29 "Being then the children of God, we ³ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.

30 "Therefore having ⁴overlooked ⁵the times of ignorance, God is ⁶now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,

31 because He has fixed ⁷a day in which ⁸He will judge ⁹the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has ¹⁰appointed, having furnished proof to all men by ¹¹raising Him from the dead."

32 Now when they heard of ¹²the resurrection of the dead, some began to sneer, but others said, "We shall hear you again * concerning this."

33 So Paul went out of their midst.

34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the ¹³Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
