11 ♥ 📝 Now these^G3778 were^G2258 more noble^G2104 than those^G3588 in^G1722 Thessalonica,^G2332 in that^G3748 they received^G1209 the word^G3056 with^G3326 all^G3956 readiness of the mind,^G4288 examining^G350 the Scriptures^{G1124 G2596} daily,^G2250 whether^G1487 these things^G5023 were^G2192 so.^G3779

24 ♥ 📝 The God^G2316 that made^G4160 the world^G2889 and^G2532 all things^{G3956 G1722} therein,^G846 he,^G3778 being^G5225 Lord^G2962 of heaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth,^G1093 dwelleth^G2730 not^G3756 in^G1722 temples^G3485 made with hands;^G5499

25 ♥ 📝 neither^G3761 is he served^G2323 by^G5259 men's^G444 hands,^G5495 as though he needed^G4326 anything,^G5100 seeing he^G846 himself giveth^G1325 to all^G3956 life,^G2222 and^G2532 breath,^G4157 and^G2596 all things;^G3956

26 ♥ 📝 and^G5037 he made^G4160 of^G1537 one^{G1520 G129} every^G3956 nation^G1484 of men^G444 to dwell^G2730 on^G1909 all^G3956 the face^G4383 of the earth,^G1093 having determined^G3724 [their] appointed^G4384 seasons,^G2540 and^G2532 the bounds^G3734 of their^G846 habitation;^G2733

27 ♥ 📝 that they should seek^G2212 God,^G2962 if^{G1487 G686} haply^G1065 they might feel after^G5584 him^G846 and^G2532 find^G2147 him,^G846 though^G2544 he is^G5225 not^G3756 far^G3112 from^G575 each^G1538 one^G1520 of us:^G2257

29 ♥ 📝 Being^G5225 then^G3767 the offspring^G1085 of God,^G2316 we ought^G3784 not^G3756 to think that^G3543 the Godhead^G2304 is^G1511 like unto^G3664 gold,^G5557 or^G2228 silver,^G696 or^G2228 stone,^G3037 graven^G5480 by art^G5078 and^G2532 device^G1761 of man.^G444

30 ♥ 📝 ^G3303 The times^G5550 of ignorance^G52 therefore^G3767 God^G2316 overlooked;^G5237 but^G3588 now^G3568 he commandeth^G3853 men^G444 that they should all^G3956 everywhere^G3837 repent:^G3340

31 ♥ 📝 inasmuch^G1360 as he hath appointed^G2476 a day^G2250 in^G1722 which^G3739 he will^G3195 judge^G2919 the world^G3625 in^G1722 righteousness^G1343 by^G1722 the man^G435 whom^G3739 he hath ordained;^G3724 whereof he hath given^G3930 assurance^G4102 unto all^G3956 men, in that he hath raised^G450 him^G846 from^G1537 the dead.^G3498

32 ♥ 📝 Now^G1161 when they heard^G191 of the resurrection^G386 of the dead,^G3498 some^G3588 mocked;^G5512 but^G1161 others^G3588 said,^G2036 We will hear^G191 thee^G4675 concerning^G4012 this^{G5127 G3303} yet again.^G3825
