³⁰ In times past God did not look at what people did. They did not know any better then. But now he is calling all people to stop doing those things.

³¹ God has set a day when he will judge the whole world in the right way. He has chosen a man to do this. He has proved to all people who the man is. He has raised him from death.'

³² When the people of Athens heard that someone had been raised from death, some of them laughed. Others said, `We want to hear you talk about this matter again some time.'
