Acts 17:27-33

²⁷That 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;

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

²⁹Therefore, 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.

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

³¹because 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.”

³²On 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.

³³And so Paul left the Court.
