1 Now|strong="G1161" when|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" passed|strong="G3588" through|strong="G1353" Amphipolis and|strong="G2532" Apollonia, they|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" Thessalonica|strong="G2332", where|strong="G3699" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" synagogue|strong="G4864" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453":
2 and|strong="G2532" Paul|strong="G3972", as|strong="G1161" his|strong="G1438" custom|strong="G1486" was|strong="G3588", went|strong="G1525" in|strong="G1909" unto|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1909" three|strong="G5140" sabbath|strong="G4521" days|strong="G4521" reasoned|strong="G1256" with|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588" from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" scriptures|strong="G1124",
3 opening|strong="G1272" and|strong="G2532" alleging|strong="G3908", that|strong="G3754" it|strong="G2532" behoved the|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547" to|strong="G2532" suffer|strong="G3958", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" rise|strong="G1163" again|strong="G2532" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498"; and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" this|strong="G3778" Jesus|strong="G2424", whom|strong="G3739", said he, I|strong="G1473" proclaim|strong="G2605" unto|strong="G2424" you|strong="G5210", is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547".
4 And|strong="G2532" some|strong="G5100" of|strong="G1537" them|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" persuaded|strong="G3982", and|strong="G2532" consorted|strong="G4345" with|strong="G1537" Paul|strong="G3972" and|strong="G2532" Silas|strong="G4609"; and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" devout|strong="G4576" Greeks|strong="G1672" a|strong="G2532" great|strong="G4183" multitude|strong="G4128", and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G4413" women|strong="G1135" not|strong="G3756" a|strong="G2532" few|strong="G3641".
5 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453", being|strong="G2532" moved with|strong="G2532" jealousy, took|strong="G4355" unto|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588" certain|strong="G5100" vile fellows of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rabble, and|strong="G2532" gathering a|strong="G2532" crowd, set|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" city|strong="G4172" on|strong="G1519" an|strong="G2532" uproar|strong="G2350"; and|strong="G2532" assaulting the|strong="G2532" house|strong="G3614" of|strong="G2532" Jason|strong="G2394", they|strong="G2532" sought|strong="G2212" to|strong="G1519" bring|strong="G4254" them|strong="G3588" forth|strong="G4254" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G1218".
6 And|strong="G2532" when|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" them|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3361", they|strong="G2532" dragged|strong="G4951" Jason|strong="G2394" and|strong="G2532" certain|strong="G5100" brethren|strong="G3588" before|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" rulers of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" city|strong="G4173", crying, These|strong="G3778" that|strong="G3754" have|strong="G2532" turned the|strong="G2532" world|strong="G3625" upside|strong="G3625" down are|strong="G3588" come|strong="G3918" hither|strong="G1759" also|strong="G2532";
7 whom|strong="G3739" Jason|strong="G2394" hath|strong="G2532" received|strong="G5264": and|strong="G2532" these|strong="G3778" all|strong="G3956" act|strong="G4238" contrary to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" decrees|strong="G1378" of|strong="G2532" Caesar|strong="G2541", saying|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3739" there|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" another|strong="G2087" king|strong="G3588", one Jesus|strong="G2424".
8 And|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" troubled|strong="G5015" the|strong="G2532" multitude|strong="G3793" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rulers of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" city|strong="G4173", when|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" heard these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778".
9 And|strong="G2532" when|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" taken|strong="G2983" security|strong="G2425" from|strong="G3844" Jason|strong="G2394" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rest|strong="G3062", they|strong="G2532" let|strong="G2983" them|strong="G3588" go|strong="G2532".
10 And|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" brethren|strong="G3588" immediately|strong="G2112" sent|strong="G1599" away|strong="G1599" Paul|strong="G3972" and|strong="G2532" Silas|strong="G4609" by|strong="G1223" night|strong="G3571" unto|strong="G1519" Beroea: who|strong="G3588" when|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" come|strong="G3854" thither went|strong="G2532" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" synagogue|strong="G4864" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453".
11 Now|strong="G1161" these|strong="G3778" were|strong="G1510" more|strong="G2192" noble|strong="G2104" than|strong="G2104" those|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" Thessalonica|strong="G2332", in|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G1161" received|strong="G1209" the|strong="G1722" word|strong="G3056" with|strong="G3326" all|strong="G3956" readiness|strong="G4288" of|strong="G3056" mind|strong="G4288", examining the|strong="G1722" scriptures|strong="G1124" daily|strong="G2250", whether|strong="G1487" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3956" were|strong="G1510" so|strong="G3779".
12 Many|strong="G4183" of|strong="G1537" them|strong="G3588" therefore|strong="G3767" believed|strong="G4100"; also|strong="G2532" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" Greek|strong="G1674" women|strong="G1135" of|strong="G1537" honourable|strong="G2158" estate, and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G1537" men|strong="G3588", not|strong="G3756" a|strong="G2532" few|strong="G3641".
13 But|strong="G1161" when|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" Jews|strong="G2453" of|strong="G3056" Thessalonica|strong="G2332" had|strong="G2532" knowledge|strong="G1097" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G1722" word|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" God|strong="G2316" was|strong="G3588" proclaimed|strong="G2605" of|strong="G3056" Paul|strong="G3972" at|strong="G1722" Beroea also|strong="G2532", they|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" thither|strong="G2064" likewise|strong="G2532", stirring|strong="G5015" up|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" troubling the|strong="G1722" multitudes|strong="G3793".
14 And|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" immediately|strong="G2112" the|strong="G2532" brethren|strong="G3588" sent|strong="G1821" forth|strong="G1821" Paul|strong="G3972" to|strong="G2532" go|strong="G4198" as|strong="G1161" far|strong="G2193" as|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sea|strong="G2281": and|strong="G2532" Silas|strong="G4609" and|strong="G2532" Timothy|strong="G5095" abode|strong="G5278" there|strong="G1563" still|strong="G2193".
15 But|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2443" conducted|strong="G2525" Paul|strong="G3972" brought|strong="G2064" him|strong="G3588" as|strong="G5613" far|strong="G2193" as|strong="G5613" Athens: and|strong="G2532" receiving|strong="G2983" a|strong="G5613" commandment|strong="G1785" unto|strong="G4314" Silas|strong="G4609" and|strong="G2532" Timothy|strong="G5095" that|strong="G2443" they|strong="G2532" should|strong="G3588" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588" with|strong="G4314" all|strong="G2532" speed|strong="G5033", they|strong="G2532" departed|strong="G1826".
16 Now|strong="G1161" while|strong="G1722" Paul|strong="G3972" waited|strong="G1551" for|strong="G1161" them|strong="G3588" at|strong="G1722" Athens, his|strong="G1438" spirit|strong="G4151" was|strong="G1510" provoked|strong="G3947" within|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588", as|strong="G1722" he|strong="G1161" beheld|strong="G2334" the|strong="G1722" city|strong="G4172" full|strong="G1722" of|strong="G4151" idols|strong="G2712".
17 So|strong="G3767" he|strong="G2532" reasoned|strong="G1256" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" synagogue|strong="G4864" with|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Jews|strong="G2453" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" devout|strong="G4576" persons|strong="G4576", and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" marketplace every|strong="G3956" day|strong="G2250" with|strong="G1722" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" met with|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588".
18 And|strong="G2532" certain|strong="G5100" also|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Epicurean|strong="G1946" and|strong="G2532" Stoic|strong="G4770" philosophers|strong="G5386" encountered|strong="G4820" him|strong="G3588". And|strong="G2532" some|strong="G5100" said|strong="G3004", What|strong="G5101" would|strong="G2309" this|strong="G3778" babbler|strong="G4691" say|strong="G3004"? other|strong="G1161" some|strong="G5100", He|strong="G2532" seemeth|strong="G1380" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" setter forth|strong="G3004" of|strong="G2532" strange|strong="G3581" gods|strong="G1140": because|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" preached|strong="G2097" Jesus|strong="G2424" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" resurrection.
19 And|strong="G5037" they|strong="G3588" took|strong="G1949" hold|strong="G1949" of|strong="G5259" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G5037" brought him|strong="G3588" unto|strong="G3004" the|strong="G1909" Areopagus, saying|strong="G3004", May|strong="G1410" we|strong="G3778" know|strong="G1097" what|strong="G5101" this|strong="G3778" new|strong="G2537" teaching|strong="G1322" is|strong="G3588", which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" spoken|strong="G2980" by|strong="G5259" thee?
20 For|strong="G1063" thou|strong="G2309" bringest|strong="G1533" certain|strong="G5100" strange|strong="G3579" things|strong="G3778" to|strong="G1519" our|strong="G1519" ears: we|strong="G2249" would|strong="G2309" know|strong="G1097" therefore|strong="G3767" what|strong="G5101" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" mean|strong="G2309".
21 (Now|strong="G1161" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" Athenians and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" strangers|strong="G3581" sojourning there|strong="G2532" spent their|strong="G2532" time|strong="G2119" in|strong="G1519" nothing|strong="G3762" else|strong="G2228", but|strong="G1161" either|strong="G2228" to|strong="G1519" tell|strong="G3004" or|strong="G2228" to|strong="G1519" hear some|strong="G5100" new|strong="G2537" thing|strong="G5100".)
22 And|strong="G1161" Paul|strong="G3972" stood|strong="G2476" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" midst|strong="G3319" of|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Areopagus, and|strong="G1161" said|strong="G5346", Ye|strong="G5210" men|strong="G3956" of|strong="G1722" Athens, in|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" I|strong="G1161" perceive|strong="G2334" that|strong="G3588" ye|strong="G5210" are|strong="G3588" somewhat superstitious|strong="G1174".
23 For|strong="G1063" as|strong="G1722" I|strong="G1473" passed|strong="G1330" along|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" observed the|strong="G1722" objects|strong="G4574" of|strong="G2316" your|strong="G2532" worship|strong="G2151", I|strong="G1473" found|strong="G2147" also|strong="G2532" an|strong="G2532" altar|strong="G1041" with|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3778" inscription|strong="G1924", TO|strong="G2532" AN|strong="G2532" UNKNOWN GOD|strong="G2316". What|strong="G3739" therefore|strong="G3767" ye|strong="G5210" worship|strong="G2151" in|strong="G1722" ignorance, this|strong="G3778" set|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" forth unto|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210".
24 The|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316" that|strong="G3588" made|strong="G4160" the|strong="G1722" world|strong="G2889" and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" therein|strong="G1722", he|strong="G2532", being|strong="G5225" Lord|strong="G2962" of|strong="G2316" heaven|strong="G3772" and|strong="G2532" earth|strong="G1093", dwelleth|strong="G2730" not|strong="G3756" in|strong="G1722" temples|strong="G3485" made|strong="G4160" with|strong="G1722" hands|strong="G5499";
25 neither|strong="G3761" is|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" served|strong="G2323" by|strong="G5259" men|strong="G3956"’s hands|strong="G5495", as|strong="G2532" though|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" needed|strong="G4326" anything|strong="G5100", seeing he|strong="G2532" himself giveth|strong="G1325" to|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" life|strong="G2222", and|strong="G2532" breath|strong="G4157", and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956";
26 and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" made|strong="G4160" of|strong="G1537" one|strong="G1520" every|strong="G3956" nation|strong="G1484" of|strong="G1537" men|strong="G3956" for|strong="G1909" to|strong="G2532" dwell|strong="G2730" on|strong="G1909" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" face|strong="G4383" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" earth|strong="G1093", having|strong="G2532" determined|strong="G3724" their appointed|strong="G4160" seasons|strong="G2540", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" bounds|strong="G3734" of|strong="G1537" their|strong="G2532" habitation|strong="G2733";
27 that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" should|strong="G2316" seek|strong="G2212" God|strong="G2316", if|strong="G1487" haply|strong="G1065" they|strong="G2532" might|strong="G2532" feel after|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" find|strong="G2147" him|strong="G3588", though|strong="G1487" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" far|strong="G3112" from|strong="G2532" each|strong="G1538" one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G2316" us|strong="G2249":
28 for|strong="G1063" in|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588" we|strong="G1063" live|strong="G2198", and|strong="G2532" move|strong="G2795", and|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" being|strong="G1510"; as|strong="G5613" certain|strong="G5100" even|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" own poets|strong="G4163" have|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", For|strong="G1063" we|strong="G1063" are|strong="G1510" also|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" offspring|strong="G1085".
29 Being|strong="G1510" then|strong="G3767" the|strong="G2532" offspring|strong="G1085" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", we|strong="G2532" ought|strong="G3784" not|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2532" think|strong="G3543" that|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" Godhead|strong="G2304" is|strong="G1510" like|strong="G3664" unto|strong="G3664" gold|strong="G5557", or|strong="G2228" silver, or|strong="G2228" stone|strong="G3037", graven|strong="G5480" by|strong="G2532" art|strong="G5078" and|strong="G2532" device|strong="G1761" of|strong="G2316" man|strong="G3756".
30 The|strong="G3956" times|strong="G5550" of|strong="G2316" ignorance therefore|strong="G3767" God|strong="G2316" overlooked|strong="G5237"; but|strong="G3767" now|strong="G3568" he|strong="G3588" commandeth|strong="G3853" men|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G3588" should|strong="G2316" all|strong="G3956" everywhere|strong="G3837" repent|strong="G3340":
31 inasmuch as|strong="G1722" he|strong="G3739" hath|strong="G3588" appointed|strong="G3724" a|strong="G1722" day|strong="G2250", in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" which|strong="G3739" he|strong="G3739" will|strong="G3195" judge|strong="G2919" the|strong="G1722" world|strong="G3625" in|strong="G1722" righteousness|strong="G1343" by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" man|strong="G3956" whom|strong="G3739" he|strong="G3739" hath|strong="G3588" ordained|strong="G3724"; whereof|strong="G3739" he|strong="G3739" hath|strong="G3588" given|strong="G3930" assurance|strong="G4102" unto|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" men|strong="G3956", in|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3739" he|strong="G3739" hath|strong="G3588" raised|strong="G3498" him|strong="G3588" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" dead|strong="G3498".
