ACTS 17:22-31
THEN Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill,
and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all
things ye are too superstitious.
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions,
I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE
UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignor-
antly worship, him declare I unto you.
God that made the world and all things there-
in, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth,
dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as
though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to
all life, and breath, and all things;
And hath made of one blood all nations of
men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and
hath determined the times before appointed, and
the bounds of their habitation;
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they
might feel after him, and find him, though he be
not far from every one of us:
For in him we live, and move, and have our
being; as certain also of your own poets have
said, For we are also his offspring.
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of
God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is
like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art
and man's device.
And the times of this ignorance God winked
at; but now commandeth all men every where
to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which
he will judge the world in righteousness by that
man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath
given assurance unto all men, in that he hath
raised him from the dead. W. FRANCE
