Acts 17:31-34

Paul Addresses the Areopagus

³¹ because he has fixed _m a day on which _n he will judge the world _o in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and _p of this he has given assurance to all _q by raising him from the dead."

³² Now when they heard of _r the resurrection of the dead, _s some mocked. But others said, _t "We will hear you again about this." ³³ So Paul went out from their midst. ³⁴ But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius _u the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
