Acts 17:29-31
New American Standard Bible
29 Therefore, since we are the descendants of God, we (A)ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought. 30 So having (B)overlooked (C)the times of ignorance, God is (D)now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, 31 because He has set (E)a day on which (F)He will judge [a](G)the world in righteousness [b]through a Man whom He has (H)appointed, having furnished proof to all people [c]by (I)raising Him from the dead.”

29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, (A)we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, (B)these times of ignorance God overlooked, but (C)now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which (D)He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by (E)raising Him from the dead.”

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
