1 # Now <1161> when they had passed through <1353> (5660) Amphipolis <295> and <2532> Apollonia <624> , they came <2064> (5627) to <1519> Thessalonica <2332>, where <3699> was <2258> (5713) a synagogue <4864> of the Jews <2453>:
2 And <1161> Paul <3972>, as <2596> his manner was <1486> (5756), went in <1525> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, and <2532> <1909> three <5140> sabbath <4521> days reasoned <1256> (5711) with them <846> out of <575> the scriptures <1124>,
3 Opening <1272> (5723) and <2532> alleging <3908> (5734), that <3754> Christ <5547> must needs <1163> (5713) have suffered <3958> (5629), and <2532> risen again <450> (5629) from <1537> the dead <3498>; and <2532> that <3754> this <3778> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> I <1473> preach <2605> (5719) unto you <5213>, is <2076> (5748) Christ <5547>.
4 And <2532> some <5100> of <1537> them <846> believed <3982> (5681), and <2532> consorted <4345> (5681) with Paul <3972> and <2532> Silas <4609>; and <5037> of the devout <4576> (5740) Greeks <1672> a great <4183> multitude <4128>, and <5037> of the chief <4413> women <1135> not <3756> a few <3641> .
5 But <1161> the Jews <2453> which believed not <544> (5723), moved with envy <2206> (5660), <2532> took unto them <4355> (5642) certain <5100> lewd <4190> fellows <435> of the baser sort <60>, and <2532> gathered a company <3792> (5660), and set all <2350> <0> the city <4172> on an uproar <2350> (5707), and <5037> assaulted <2186> (5631) the house <3614> of Jason <2394>, and sought <2212> (5707) to bring <71> (5629) them <846> out <1519> to the people <1218>.
6 And <1161> when they found <2147> (5631) them <846> not <3361>, they drew <4951> (5707) Jason <2394> and <2532> certain <5100> brethren <80> unto <1909> the rulers of the city <4173>, crying <994> (5723), <3754> These <3778> that have turned <387> <0> the world <3625> upside down <387> (5660) are come <3918> (5748) hither <1759> also <2532>;
7 Whom <3739> Jason <2394> hath received <5264> (5766): and <2532> these <3778> all <3956> do <4238> (5719) contrary <561> to the decrees <1378> of Caesar <2541>, saying <3004> (5723) that there is <1511> (5750) another <2087> king <935>, one Jesus <2424>.
8 And <1161> they troubled <5015> (5656) the people <3793> and <2532> the rulers of the city <4173> , when they heard <191> (5723) these things <5023>.
9 And <2532> when they had taken <2983> (5631) security <2425> of <3844> Jason <2394>, and <2532> of the other <3062>, they let <630> <0> them <846> go <630> (5656).
10 # And <1161> the brethren <80> immediately <2112> sent away <1599> (5656) <5037> Paul <3972> and <2532> Silas <4609> by <1223> night <3571> unto <1519> Berea <960>: who <3748> coming <3854> (5637) thither went <549> (5713) into <1519> the synagogue <4864> of the Jews <2453>.
11 <1161> These <3778> were <2258> (5713) more noble <2104> than those in <1722> Thessalonica <2332>, in that they <3748> received <1209> (5662) the word <3056> with <3326> all <3956> readiness of mind <4288> , and searched <350> (5723) the scriptures <1124> daily <2250> <2596>, whether <1487> those things <5023> were <2192> (5722) so <3779>.
12 Therefore <3767> <3303> many <4183> of <1537> them <846> believed <4100> (5656); also <2532> of honourable <2158> women <1135> which <3588> were Greeks <1674>, and <2532> of men <435>, not <3756> a few <3641>.
13 But <1161> when <5613> the Jews <2453> of <575> Thessalonica <2332> had knowledge <1097> (5627) that <3754> <2532> the word <3056> of God <2316> was preached <2605> (5648) of <5259> Paul <3972> at <1722> Berea <960>, they came <2064> (5627) thither also <2546>, and stirred up <4531> (5723) the people <3793>.
14 And <1161> then <5119> immediately <2112> the brethren <80> sent away <1821> (5656) Paul <3972> to go <4198> (5738) as it were <5613> to <1909> the sea <2281>: but <1161> <5037> Silas <4609> and <2532> Timotheus <5095> abode <5278> <0> there <1563> still <5278> (5707).
15 And <1161> they that conducted <2525> (5723) Paul <3972> brought <71> (5627) him <846> unto <2193> Athens <116>: and <2532> receiving <2983> (5631) a commandment <1785> unto <4314> Silas <4609> and <2532> Timotheus <5095> for to <2443> come <2064> (5632) to <4314> him <846> with all speed <5613> <5033>, they departed <1826> (5713).
16 # Now <1161> while Paul <3972> waited for <1551> (5740) them <846> at <1722> Athens <116> , his <846> spirit <4151> was stirred <3947> (5712) in <1722> him <846>, when he saw <2334> (5723) the city <4172> wholly given <5607> (5752) to idolatry <2712>.
17 Therefore <3767> <3303> disputed he <1256> (5711) in <1722> the synagogue <4864> with the Jews <2453>, and <2532> with the devout persons <4576> (5740), and <2532> in <1722> the market <58> daily <2596> <3956> <2250> with <4314> them that met with him <3909> (5723).
18 Then <1161> certain <5100> philosophers <5386> of the Epicureans <1946>, and <2532> of the Stoicks <4770> , encountered <4820> (5707) him <846>. And <2532> some <5100> said <3004> (5707), What <5101> will <302> <2309> (5722) this <3778> babbler <4691> say <3004> (5721)? <1161> other some, He seemeth <1380> (5719) to be <1511> (5750) a setter forth <2604> of strange <3581> gods <1140>: because <3754> he preached <2097> (5710) unto them <846> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> the resurrection <386>.
19 And <5037> they took <1949> (5637) him <846>, and brought him <71> (5627) unto <1909> Areopagus <697>, saying <3004> (5723), May <1410> (5736) we know <1097> (5629) what <5101> this <3778> new <2537> doctrine <1322>, whereof <5259> thou <4675> speakest <2980> (5746), is?
20 For <1063> thou bringest <1533> (5719) certain <5100> strange things <3579> (5723) to <1519> our <2257> ears <189>: we would <1014> (5736) know <1097> (5629) therefore <3767> what <5101> these things <5023> mean <302> <2309> (5722) <1511> (5750).
21 (For <1161> all <3956> the Athenians <117> and <2532> strangers <3581> which <3588> were there <1927> (5723) spent their time <2119> (5707) in <1519> nothing <3762> else <2087>, but either <2228> to tell <3004> (5721), or <2532> to hear <191> (5721) some <5100> new thing <2537>.)
22 # Then <1161> Paul <3972> stood <2476> (5685) in <1722> the midst <3319> of Mars' hill <697> , and said <5346> (5713), Ye men <435> of Athens <117>, I perceive <2334> (5719) that <5613> in <2596> all things <3956> ye <5209> are too superstitious <1174>.
23 For <1063> as I passed by <1330> (5740), and <2532> beheld <333> (5723) your <5216> devotions <4574>, <2532> I found <2147> (5627) an altar <1041> with this <1722> <3739> inscription <1924> (5718), TO THE UNKNOWN <57> GOD <2316>. Whom <3739> therefore <3767> ye ignorantly <50> (5723) worship <2151> (5719), him <5126> declare <2605> (5719) I <1473> unto you <5213>.
24 God <2316> that made <4160> (5660) the world <2889> and <2532> all things <3956> therein <1722> <846>, seeing that he <3778> is <5225> (5723) Lord <2962> of heaven <3772> and <2532> earth <1093> , dwelleth <2730> (5719) not <3756> in <1722> temples <3485> made with hands <5499>;
25 Neither <3761> is worshipped <2323> (5743) with <5259> men's <444> hands <5495>, as though he needed <4326> (5740) any thing <5100>, seeing he <846> giveth <1325> (5723) to all <3956> life <2222>, and <2532> breath <4157>, and <2596> all things <3956>;
26 And <5037> hath made <4160> (5656) of <1537> one <1520> blood <129> all <3956> nations <1484> of men <444> for to dwell <2730> (5721) on <1909> all <3956> the face <4383> of the earth <1093> , and hath determined <3724> (5660) the times <2540> before appointed <4384> (5772), and <2532> the bounds <3734> of their <846> habitation <2733>;

27 That they should seek <2212> (5721) the Lord <2962>, if <1487> haply <686> they might feel <5584> (5659) after him <846>, and <2532> find him <2147> (5630), though <2544> he be <5225> (5723) not <3756> far <3112> from <575> every <1538> one <1520> of us <2257>:
28 For <1063> in <1722> him <846> we live <2198> (5719), and <2532> move <2795> (5743) , and <2532> have our being <2070> (5748); as <5613> certain <5100> also <2532> of your <5209> own <2596> poets <4163> have said <2046> (5758), For <1063> we are <2070> (5748) also <2532> his <5120> offspring <1085>.
29 Forasmuch then <3767> as we are <5225> (5723) the offspring <1085> of God <2316>, we ought <3784> (5719) not <3756> to think <3543> (5721) that the Godhead <2304> is <1511> (5750) like <3664> unto gold <5557>, or <2228> silver <696>, or <2228> stone <3037>, graven <5480> by art <5078> and <2532> man's <444> device <1761>.
30 And <3303> <3767> the times <5550> of this ignorance <52> God <2316> winked at <5237> (5660) ; but now <3569> commandeth <3853> (5719) all <3956> men <444> every where <3837> to repent <3340> (5721) :

- CHRONOS - TIME
31 Because <1360> he hath appointed <2476> (5656) a day <2250>, in <1722> the which <3739> he will <3195> (5719) judge <2919> (5721) the world <3625> in <1722> righteousness <1343> by <1722> that man <435> whom <3739> he hath ordained <3724> (5656); whereof he hath given <3930> (5631) assurance <4102> unto all <3956> men, in that he hath raised <450> (5660) him <846> from <1537> the dead <3498>.
32 # And <1161> when they heard <191> (5660) of the resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>, some <3303> mocked <5512> (5707): and <1161> others said <2036> (5627), We will hear <191> (5695) thee <4675> again <3825> of <4012> this <5127> matter.
33 So <2532> <3779> Paul <3972> departed <1831> (5627) from <1537> among <3319> them <846>.
34 Howbeit <1161> certain <5100> men <435> clave <2853> (5685) unto him <846>, and believed <4100> (5656): among <1722> the which <3739> <2532> was Dionysius <1354> the Areopagite <698>, and <2532> a woman <1135> named <3686> Damaris <1152>, and <2532> others <2087> with <4862> them <846>.
