out knowing it, that I preach to you. God who
made the world and all things therein

, He being adeptie Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples have rece made with hands, neither is be served with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing it is be who giveth to all, life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation, that they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him LIV, or find him; although he be not far from every one of us; for in him we live and move, and be: as some also of your own poets said: For we are ola his offspring. Being therefore the offspring of God we must not suppose the Divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art and device of man. And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth to men, that all should every where do penance, because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed, giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead. And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead

. some indeed mocked; but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter

. So Paul went out from among them. But certain men adhered to him, and believed; among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
