Acts 17:31

Judgment The resurrection Jesus Christ

²⁹ Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.

³⁰ Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent.

For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

³² When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”

³³ At that, Paul left the Areopagus.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
