017:026 He caused to spring from one forefather people of every race, for them to live on the whole surface of the earth, and marked out for them an appointed span of life and the boundaries of their homes;
017:027 that they might seek God, if perhaps they could grope for Him and find Him. Yes, though He is not far from any one of us.
017:028 For it is in closest union with Him that we live and move
and have our being; as in fact some of the poets in repute
among yourselves have said, `For we are also His offspring.'
017:029 Since then we are God's offspring, we ought not to imagine
that His nature resembles gold or silver or marble, or anything
sculptured by the art and inventive faculty of man.
017:030 Those times of ignorance God viewed with indulgence.
But now He commands all men everywhere to repent,
017:031 seeing that He has appointed a day on which, before long, He will judge the world in righteousness, through the instrumentality of a man whom He has pre-destined to this work, and has made the fact certain to every one by raising Him from the dead."
017:032 When they heard Paul speak of a resurrection of dead men, some began to scoff. But others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."
017:033 So Paul went away from them.
017:034 A few, however, attached themselves to him and believed, among them being Dionysius a member of the Council, a gentlewoman named Damaris, and some others.
018:001 After this he left Athens and came to Corinth.
