God, who made the world and all things therein, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.
25
Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing: seeing it is he who giveth to all life and breath and all things:
26
And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times and the limits of their habitation.
27
That they should seek God, if haply they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us.
28
For in him we live and move and are: as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
29
Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold or silver or stone, the graving of art and device of man.
30
And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men that all should every where do penance.
31
Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed: giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
32
And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked. But others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
33
So Paul went out from among them.
34
But certain men, adhering to him, did believe: among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
