In Athens

¹⁶ While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols.

²² Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus^(A) and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.^{(B) 23} For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship^(C)—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

²⁹ “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.^{(A) 30} In the past God overlooked^(B) such ignorance,^(C) but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.^{(D) 31} For he has set a day when he will judge^(E) the world with justice^(F) by the man he has appointed.^(G) He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”^(H)
