17:21 Athenians. Now all and the dwelling strangers for
nothing different have leisure either to say something or to hear something
newer. 22 And standing Paul in the midst of the Areopagus said: Men Athenians,
in everything how very religious you I behold. 23 passing along For and
looking up at the objectsof worship of you I found also an altar in which
had bee inscribed TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore being ignorant ye
reverence, this I announce to you, 24 The God the one having made
the world and all the things in it, this one of heaven and of earth being
lord not in hand-made shrines dwells. 25 not by hands human is served
having need of anything, he giving to all life and breath and all things; 26
and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the
earth, fixing having been appointed seasons and the boundaries of the
dwelling of them. 27 to seek God, if perchance they might feel after him

being. 28 in him For we live and move and are, as indeed some of the among
you poets have said: of him For also offspring we are. 29 Offspring
therefore being of God we ought not to suppose, to gold or to silver or to
stone, to an of art and of mediation of man, the divine to be like. 30 The
so then times of ignorance having God now declares to men all men
everywhere to repent. 31 because he set a day in which he is about to judge
the inhabited earth in righteousness, by a man whom he designated,
guarantee offering to all having raised up him out of the dead. 32 And
hearing of a resurrection of dead persons, some scoffed, others
said: We will hear thee concerning this also again. 33 Thus Paul went forth
from the midst of them. 34 But some men adhering to him believed, among
whom both Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman by name Damaria and others
with them. (Note: "the word" not mentioned in relation to Athens)
