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)

32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead,(I) some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” 33 At that, Paul left the Council. 34 Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus,(J) also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.

In Corinth

18 After this, Paul left Athens(K) and went to Corinth.(L) There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla,(M) because Claudius(N) had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.(O) Every Sabbath(P) he reasoned in the synagogue,(Q) trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
