Acts 17:24-33

²⁴The 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,

²⁵nor 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.

²⁶And 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,

²⁷in 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;

²⁸for 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.’

²⁹Therefore, 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.

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

³¹because 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.”

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

³³And thus Paul went forth from their midst.
