Acts 17:20-28

²⁰For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.

²¹Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.

²²And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;

²³for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing him, him I announce to you.

²⁴The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,

²⁵nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;

²⁶and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling,

²⁷that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:

²⁸for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
