Strongs On/Off
Context
17:29 So since we are God’s offspring , we should not think the deity is like gold or silver or stone , an image made by human skill and imagination .
17:30 Therefore , although God has overlooked such times of ignorance , he now commands all people everywhere to repent ,
17:31 because he has set a day on which he is going to judge the world in righteousness , by a man whom he designated , having provided proof to everyone by raising him from the dead .”
17:32 Now when they heard about the resurrection from the dead , some began to scoff , but others said , “We will hear you again about this .”
17:33 So Paul left the Areopagus.
17:34 But some people joined him and believed . Among them were Dionysius , who was a member of the Areopagus , a woman named Damaris , and others with them .
