Acts 17:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 (A)Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone [a]graven by art and the invention of man.
30 [b]And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but now he admonisheth all men everywhere to repent.
31 Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath appointed, whereof he hath given an [c]assurance to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
