AL DIOS NO CONOCIDO.
Al que vosotros adoráis, pues, sin conocerle, es a quien yo os anuncio. El Dios que hizo el mundo y todo lo que hay en él es Señor del cielo y de la tierra. No habita en templos construidos por manos humanas, ni se deja servir por manos de hombres, como si necesitara de algo. Por el contrario, él es quien da a todos la vida, el aliento y todas las cosas. De un solo hombre hizo todas las naciones para que habitaran toda la tierra; y determinó los períodos de su historia y las fronteras de sus territorios. Esto lo hizo Dios para que todos lo busquen y, aunque sea a tientas, LO ENCUENTREN. En verdad, él no está lejos de ninguno de nosotros, "puesto que en él vivimos, nos movemos y existimos." Como algunos de sus propios poetas griegos han dicho: "De él somos descendientes."

"...for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with human hands. Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'
