lont - Acts:17:15-34

lont@Acts:17:15 @ And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens: and having received an order for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him as soon as possible, they set out.

lont@Acts:17:16 @ Now, while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit within him was strongly moved when he beheld the city enslaved to idolatry.

lont@Acts:17:17 @ He therefore reasoned with the Jews and proselytes in the synagogue; and in the forum, daily, with those who met with him.

lont@Acts:17:18 @ Then some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers opposed him. Others said, What would this babbler say? And others, he seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities; because he declared to them the good news concerning Jesus and the resurrection.

lont@Acts:17:19 @ And they took him and conducted him to the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, which is spoken by you?

lont@Acts:17:20 @ for you bring some strange things to our ears; we would, therefore, know what these things mean.

lont@Acts:17:21 @ For all the Athenians, and the strangers that sojourned among them spent their leisure in nothing else but in telling or hearing news.

lont@Acts:17:22 @ Paul, therefore, standing up in the middle of Areopagus, said, Athenians, I perceive that you are exceedingly addicted to the worship of demons.

lont@Acts:17:23 @ For, as I passed along, and beheld the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription, To the Unknown God: Him, therefore, you ignorantly worship, I announce to you.

lont@Acts:17:24 @ The God who made the world, and all things that are in it, being the Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands:

lont@Acts:17:25 @ Neither is he served by human hands, as if he stood in need of anything; he himself giving to all, life, and breath, and all things.

lont@Acts:17:26 @ And he has made of one blood, the whole race of men, to inhabit all the face of the earth; having marked out the times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitations:

lont@Acts:17:27 @ that they might seek after the Lord, if possibly they might feel after him, and find him; though he be not far from every one of us:

lont@Acts:17:28 @ «for in him we live, and are moved, and do exist; as some of your own poets have said-For we his offspring are.»

lont@Acts:17:29 @ We, therefore, being the offspring of God, ought not to imagine the Deity to be like gold, or silver, or stone, wrought by the art and contrivance of man.

lont@Acts:17:30 @ For though God overlooked the times of ignorance, he now makes proclamation to all men, everywhere, to reform;

lont@Acts:17:31 @ because he has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world righteously, by that Man whom he has ordained: of which he has given assurance to all men, by raising him from the dead.

lont@Acts:17:32 @ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some made a jest of it, and others said, We will hear you again upon this subject.

lont@Acts:17:33 @ And this Paul went out of the midst of them.

lont@Acts:17:34 @ Nevertheless, some men adhered to him, and believed: among whom was Dionysius, the Areopagite; also a woman, whose name was Damaris; and others with them.
