The Acts
Chapters 17:22-28
Revised Version 1885
22And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are somewhat superstitious.
23For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this set I forth unto you.
24The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26and 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;
27that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:
28for 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.
