22Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
23For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: `TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.` What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
24The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands,
25neither is he served by men`s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.
26He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation,
27that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28`For in him we live, and move, and have our being.` As some of your own poets have said, `For we are also his offspring.`
