acv Acts:17:15-34
acv@Acts:17:15 @ And those who brought Paul led him as far as Athens. And after taking a command for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him quickly, they departed.
acv@Acts:17:16 @ But while Paul waited for them in Athens, his spirit was aroused within him, seeing the city being completely idolatrous.
acv@Acts:17:17 @ Indeed therefore he was discoursing in the synagogue with the Jews, and with those who worship, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened by.
acv@Acts:17:18 @ And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, Whatever does this babbler want to say? But others, He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities, because he brought the good-news--Jesus and t
acv@Acts:17:19 @ And having taken him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying, Can we understand what this new doctrine is, being spoken by thee?
acv@Acts:17:20 @ For thou bring some surprising things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know whatever these things aim to be.
acv@Acts:17:21 @ Now all the Athenians, and the foreigners who dwell alien there, were at leisure in nothing else, than to tell or to hear something new.
acv@Acts:17:22 @ And having stood in the middle of the Areopagus, Paul said, Athenian men, I perceive you as deity-fearing in all things.
acv@Acts:17:23 @ For, passing through and examining your religious objects, I also found an altar on which had been engraved, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye worship unknowingly, him I proclaim to you.

acv@Acts:17:29 @ Being therefore offspring of God, we ought not think the Divine to be like gold, or silver, or stone handiwork of the skill and thought of man.
acv@Acts:17:30 @ Indeed therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands for all men everywhere to repent.
acv@Acts:17:31 @ Because he appointed a day during which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he appointed, having provided assurance to all men because he raised him from the dead.
acv@Acts:17:32 @ But when they heard the resurrection of the dead, of course they mocked, but others said, We will hear thee again about this.
acv@Acts:17:33 @ And so Paul departed from among them.
acv@Acts:17:34 @ But some men, having joined with him, believed, among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
