Acts 17:24-33 in English

²⁴ The God that 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 by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth 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, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁷ that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:

²⁸ for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:

³¹ inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee concerning this yet again.

³³ Thus Paul went out from among them.

²⁴ God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

²⁵ Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁶ 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;

²⁷ 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:

²⁸ 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.

²⁹ 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.

³⁰ And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

³¹ 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.

³² And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

³³ So Paul departed from among them.

²⁴ The God that 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 by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁶ and he made of one every nation of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁷ that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:

²⁸ for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:

³¹ inasmuch as he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee concerning this yet again.

³³ Thus Paul went out from among them.

²⁴ He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Because he rules over all beings in heaven and on earth, he does not dwell in shrines that people have made.

²⁵ He does not need to have anything made for him by people MTY {to have people MTY make MTY anything for him}, because everything that exists belongs to him. He is the one who causes ◄us (inc)/all people► to live and breathe, and he gives us all the things that we(inc) need.

²⁶ In the beginning, God created one couple, and from them God produced all ◄the ethnic groups/the nations► that now live everywhere on the earth. He also decided where each ethnic group of people should live and how long they should live there.

²⁷ He wanted people to realize that they need him. Then maybe they would seek him and find him. God wants us to seek him, although he is really close LIT to each one of us.

²⁸ As someone has said, ‘ It is only because he enables us that we (inc) live and move and do what we do.’ And, as some of your own poets have said, ‘We (inc) are God's children.’

²⁹ Therefore, because we are God's children and can communicate like God does, we (inc) should not think that he is anything like an image that people have made of gold or silver or stone which cannot communicate. Those images are designed and skillfully made {People design and make those images}, but they are not alive.

³⁰ During the times when people did not know what God wanted them to do, he did not immediately punish them for what they did. But now God commands all people everywhere to turn away from their evil behavior.

³¹ He tells us that on a certain day that he has chosen he is going to judge all of us(inc) people in MTY the world. He has appointed a certain man to judge us, and that man will judge each of us fairly/justly. God has shown to all people that he has appointed that man to judge everyone, because God ◄caused him to become alive again after he had died/raised him from the dead►.”

³² When the men of the council heard Paul say that ◄ a man had become alive again after he had died/ someone had been raised from the dead►, some of them laughed scornfully. But others said, “We (exc) would like you (sg) to tell us more about this, some other time.”

³³ After they said that, Paul left the council meeting.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

²⁶ He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³¹ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³³ Thus Paul went out from among them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

²⁶ He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³¹ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³³ Thus Paul went out from among them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

²⁶ He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³¹ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³³ Thus Paul went out from amongst them.

²⁴ The God who made the earth and everything in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, is not housed in buildings made with hands;

²⁵ And he is not dependent on the work of men's hands, as if he had need of anything, for he himself gives to all life and breath and all things;

²⁶ And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands,

²⁷ So that they might make search for God, in order, if possible, to get knowledge of him and make discovery of him, though he is not far from every one of us:

²⁸ For in him we have life and motion and existence; as certain of your verse writers have said, For we are his offspring.

²⁹ If then we are the offspring of God, it is not right for us to have the idea that God is like gold or silver or stone, formed by the art or design of man.

³⁰ Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart:

³¹ Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

³² Now on hearing about the coming back from death, some of them made sport of it, but others said, Let us go more fully into this another time.

³³ And so Paul went away from among them.

²⁴ The 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,

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

²⁶ and 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,

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

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

²⁹ Being therefore the offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, the graven form of man's art and imagination.

³⁰ God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,

³¹ because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by the man whom he has appointed, giving the proof of it to all in having raised him from among the dead.

³² And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.

³³ Thus Paul went out of their midst.

²⁴ 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 happily 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.

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

²⁵ nor by the hands of men is He served, as though He needed anything, for He gives to all life and breath with respect to all things.

²⁶ And He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, and He ordained their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ in order for them to seek the Lord, if perhaps indeed they might grope for Him and find Him, and yet being indeed not far from each one of us;

²⁸ for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

²⁹ Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to suppose that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and the imagination of man.

³⁰ So then these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all men everywhere to repent,

³¹ because He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has appointed, having given proof to all, by raising Him from the dead.”

³² But when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some were scoffing, but others said, “We will hear you again concerning this.”

³³ And thus Paul went forth from their midst.

²⁴ The God who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by hands,

²⁵ neither is He cared for by men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself has always given life and breath to all.

²⁶ And from one blood He made every ethnic nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ so that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

²⁸ because in Him we live and move and have our being. As also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone—something shaped by human skill and imagination.

³⁰ Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,

³¹ because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

³² Well when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some started scoffing, while others said, “We will hear you again about this.”

³³ And with that Paul went out from among them.

²⁴ The God who created the world and everything in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, doesn't live in temples we make.

²⁵ He doesn't need to be served by us as if he needed anything, since he is the source of all life for every living being.

²⁶ From one man he made all the peoples who live on the earth, and decided beforehand when and where they should live.

²⁷ God's purpose was that they should seek him, hoping they would reach out for him and find him—though he isn't far from any one of us.

²⁸ In him we live, move, and exist. Just as one of your own poets wrote, ‘We are his family.’

²⁹ Since we are his family we shouldn't think that God is like gold, or silver, or stone, shaped by human artistry and thinking.

³⁰ God disregarded people's ignorance in the past, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent.

³¹ For he has set a time when he will rightly judge the world by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone that he is the one by raising him from the dead.”

³² Some of them laughed when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, while others said, “Please come back so we can hear more about this later.”

³³ So Paul left them.

²⁴ God that made the world, and all things that are therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaue and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands,

²⁵ Neither is worshipped with mens handes, as though he needed any thing, seeing hee giueth to all life and breath and all things,

²⁶ And hath made of one blood all mankinde, to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned the seasons which were ordeined before, and the boundes of their habitation,

²⁷ That they shoulde seeke the Lord, if so be they might haue groped after him, and founde him though doubtlesse he be not farre from euery one of vs.

²⁸ For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as also certaine of your owne Poets haue sayd, for we are also his generation.

²⁹ Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to thinke that ye Godhead is like vnto gold, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte and the inuention of man.

³⁰ And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but nowe hee admonisheth all men euery where to repent,

³¹ Because hee hath appoynted a day in the which he wil iudge the world in righteousnes, by that man whome hee hath appoynted, whereof he hath giuen an assurance to all men, in that hee hath raised him from the dead.

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, some mocked, and other sayde, We will heare thee againe of this thing.

³³ And so Paul departed from among them.

²⁴ God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

²⁵ neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁶ 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;

²⁷ 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:

²⁸ 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.

²⁹ 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.

³⁰ And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

³¹ 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.

³² And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

³³ So Paul departed from among them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

²⁵ nor doth he receive service at the hands of men, as though he needed anything, since it is he that giveth to all life and breath and all things.

²⁶ And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having fixed appointed times, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁷ that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as also some of your own poets have said: “For we are also his offspring.”

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Deity is like to gold or silver or stone, graven by the art and device of man.

³⁰ The times indeed of ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent;

³¹ inasmuch as he hath fixed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he hath appointed; having given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.

³² And when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but ethers said, We will hear thee again about this matter.

³³ Thus Paul departed from among them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things that are in it — he, Lord as he is of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by hands,

²⁵ neither do human hands minister to his wants, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives, to all, life, and breath, and all things.

²⁶ He made all races of the earth's surface — fixing a time for their rise and fall, and the limits of their settlements —

²⁷ That they might search for God, if by any means they might feel their way to him and find him. And yet he is not really far from any one of us;

²⁸ for in him we live and move and are. To use the words of some of your own poets — ‘His offspring, too, are we.’

²⁹ Therefore, as the offspring of God, we must not think that the Deity has any resemblance to anything made of gold, or silver, or stone — a work of human art and imagination.

³⁰ True, God looked with indulgence on the days of people's ignorance, but now he is announcing to everyone everywhere the need for repentance,

³¹ because he has fixed a day on which he intends to judge the world with justice, by a man whom he has appointed — and of this he has given all people a pledge by raising this man from the dead.”

³² On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they wanted to hear what he had to say about that another time.

³³ And so Paul left the Court.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things that are in it — he, Lord as he is of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by hands,

²⁵ neither do human hands minister to his wants, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives, to all, life, and breath, and all things.

²⁶ He made all races of the earth's surface — fixing a time for their rise and fall, and the limits of their settlements —

²⁷ That they might search for God, if by any means they might feel their way to him and find him. And yet he is not really far from any one of us;

²⁸ for in him we live and move and are. To use the words of some of your own poets — ‘His offspring, too, are we.’

²⁹ Therefore, as the offspring of God, we must not think that the Deity has any resemblance to anything made of gold, or silver, or stone — a work of human art and imagination.

³⁰ True, God looked with indulgence on the days of people's ignorance, but now he is announcing to everyone everywhere the need for repentance,

³¹ because he has fixed a day on which he intends to judge the world with justice, by a man whom he has appointed — and of this he has given all people a pledge by raising this man from the dead.”

³² On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they wanted to hear what he had to say about that another time.

³³ And so Paul left the Court.

²⁴ He is the God that made all the world, and he made everything in the world. He is the boss of everybody everywhere. He is boss up in the sky and he is boss down here on the ground. So nobody can build a house big enough for him to live in.

²⁵ And he doesn’t need us to do anything for him. You see, he is the one that makes us alive, and he gives us our breath, and he gives us everything we need.

²⁶ At first he just made one man, then later we all came from that man, all of us in every tribe everywhere came from that man. God gave each tribe their own country, and he said where they can live and how long they can live there.

²⁷ He did this so that we can look around for him and try to find him. But really, he is not very far away from any of us.

²⁸ That old story is true that says, ‘He is with us all the time. He is the one that makes us alive, so that we can walk about and do things.’ And even one of your own Athens people wrote this about him, ‘We are his kids.’

²⁹ So, if it is true that we are God’s kids, we shouldn’t just dream up something and say, ‘My god looks like this,’ and then make a statue like that from gold or silver or stone. Nobody can make any kind of statue that is anything like God.

³⁰ You know, people didn’t know about God at first, but he didn’t worry about it at that time. But now it is different. Now he says to all of us that we have to turn around and stop doing bad things,

³¹ and if we don’t, he will give us big trouble. He is going to have a big court and all of us will have to stand in front of the judge. He has already set the date for this. It will be a fair court and he has picked one man to be the judge. That man died, but God made him alive again. God did that to show everybody he picked that man to be the big judge.”

³² The council men heard Paul say that a man died and then came alive again, and some of those council men laughed at Paul, and others said, “You can tell us more about this at some other time.”

³³ Then Paul left that council meeting.

²⁴ God that made the worlde and all that are in it seynge that he is Lorde of heven and erth he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes

²⁵ nether is worshipped with mennes hondes as though he neded of eny thinge seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every where

²⁶ and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men for to dwell on all the face of the erthe and hath assigned before how longe tyme and also the endes of their inhabitacion

²⁷ that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.

²⁸ For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.

²⁹ For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.

³⁰ And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent

³¹ because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.

³² When they hearde of the resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.

³³ So Paul departed from amonge them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and everything in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples built with hands.

²⁵ Neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives people life and breath and everything else.

²⁶ From one man he made every nation of people to live on the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons and the boundaries of their living areas,

²⁷ so that they should search for God and perhaps they may feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us.

²⁸ For in him we live and move and have our being, just as one of your own poets has said, 'For we also are his offspring.'

²⁹ Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the qualities of deity are like gold, or silver, or stone—images created by the art and imagination of man.

³⁰ Therefore God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.

³¹ This is because he has set a day when he will judge the world in righteousness by the man he has chosen. God has given proof of this man to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

³² Now when the men of Athens heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked Paul; but others said, “We will listen to you again about this matter.”

³³ After that, Paul left them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

²⁶ He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³¹ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³³ Thus Paul went out from among them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

²⁶ He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³¹ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³³ Thus Paul went out from amongst them.

²⁴ God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

²⁵ Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁶ And hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁷ That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us:

²⁸ 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.

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like to gold, or silver, or stone graven by art and man's device.

³⁰ And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

³¹ Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath ordained: of which he hath given assurance to all men , in that he hath raised him from the dead.

³² And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter .

³³ So Paul departed from among them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

²⁶ He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁷ that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³¹ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³³ Thus Paul went out from among them.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

³³ Thus Paul went out from amongst them.

²⁴ God that made the world and all things that be in it, this, for he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with or by hand,

²⁵ neither is worshipped by man’s hands, neither hath need of anything, for he giveth life to all men, and breathing, and all things;

²⁶ and made of one all the kind of men to inhabit on all the face of the earth, determining times ordained, and terms of the dwelling or the habitation of them,

²⁷ to seek God, if peradventure they feel him, either find, though he be not far from each of you.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and be. As also some of your poets said, And we be also the kind or the kin of him.

²⁹ Therefore since we be the kind or the kin of God, we shall not deem or guess that godly thing is like gold, and silver, either stone, either to engraving of craft and thought of man.

³⁰ For God despiseth the times of this unknowing, and now showeth to men, that all everywhere do penance;

³¹ for that he hath ordained a day, in which he shall deem the world in equity, in a man in which he ordained, and gave faith to all men, and raised him from death.

³² And when they had heard the again-rising of dead men, some scorned, and some said, We shall hear thee again of this thing.

³³ So Paul went out of the middle of them.

²⁴ God that made the world and all things that be in it, this (God), for he is (the) Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hand or made by hand,

²⁵ neither is worshipped by man’s hands, neither hath need of anything, for he giveth life to all men, and breathing, and all things;

²⁶ and made of one all the kind of men to inhabit on all the face of the earth, determining times ordained, and (the) terms of the dwelling or of the habitation of them,

²⁷ to seek God, if peradventure they feel him, either find (him), though he be not far from each of you.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and be. As also some of your poets said, And we be also the kind or the kin of him.

²⁹ Therefore since we be the kind or the kin of God, we shall not deem or guess that (a) godly thing is like gold, and silver, either stone, either to (the) (en)graving of craft and thought of man.

³⁰ For God despiseth the times of this uncunning, and now showeth to men, that all everywhere do penance; (For God despiseth the times of this unknowing, or this ignorance, and now showeth to all, so that everyone everywhere shall repent;)

³¹ for that he hath ordained a day, in which he shall deem the world in equity (or on which he shall judge the world with fairness), in a man in which he ordained, and gave faith to all men, and raised him from death or raising him from (the) dead.

³² And when they had heard (of) the again-rising of dead men, or Soothly when they had heard (of) the again-rising of (the) dead, (or And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead), some scorned, and some said, We shall hear thee again of this thing.

³³ So Paul went out of the middle of them. (And then Paul went away from their midst.)

²⁴ 'God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell,

²⁵ neither by the hands of men is He served — needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁶ He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth — having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings —

²⁷ to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, — though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,

²⁸ for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.

²⁹ 'Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man;

³⁰ the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,

³¹ because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.'

³² And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, 'We will hear thee again concerning this;'

³³ and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
