Acts 17:27-34 Modern English Version (MEV)

27. that they should seek the Lord so perhaps they might reach 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, ‘We are His offspring.’

29. “Therefore since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to suppose that the Deity is like gold or silver or stone or an engraved work of art or an image of the reflection of man.

30. God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now He commands all men everywhere to repent.

31. For He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed, having given assurance of this to all men by raising Him from the dead.”

32. When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some scoffed. But others said, “We will hear you again concerning this matter.”

33. So Paul departed from them.

34. However, some men joined him and believed. Among them were Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
