절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Trouble in Thessalonica After Paul and his friends had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went on to Thessalonica. A synagogue was in that city.	Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2	So as usual, Paul went there to worship, and on three Sabbaths he spoke to the people. He used the Scriptures	And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3	to show them that the Messiah had to suffer, but that he would rise from death. Paul also told them that Jesus is the Messiah he was preaching about.	Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
4	Some of them believed what Paul had said, and they became followers with Paul and Silas. Some Gentiles and many important women also believed the message.	And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
5	The Jewish leaders were jealous and got some troublemakers who hung around the marketplace to start a riot in the city. They wanted to drag Paul and Silas out to the mob, and so they went straight to Jason's home.	But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
6	But when they did not find them there, they dragged out Jason and some of the Lord's followers. They took them to the city authorities and shouted, “Paul and Silas have been upsetting things everywhere. Now they have come here,	And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
7	and Jason has welcomed them into his home. All of them break the laws of the Roman Emperor by claiming that someone named Jesus is king.”	Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8	The officials and the people were upset when they heard this.	And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9	So they made Jason and the other followers pay bail before letting them go.	And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
10	People in Berea Welcome the Message That same night the Lord's followers sent Paul and Silas on to Berea, and after they arrived, they went to the synagogue.	And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11	The people in Berea were much nicer than those in Thessalonica, and they gladly accepted the message. Day after day they studied the Scriptures to see if these things were true.	These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12	Many of them put their faith in the Lord, including some important Greek women and several men.	Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
13	When the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica heard that Paul had been preaching God's message in Berea, they went there and caused trouble by turning the crowds against Paul.	But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
14	At once the followers sent Paul down to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea.	And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
15	Some men went with Paul as far as Athens, and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.	And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
16	Paul in Athens While Paul was waiting in Athens, he was upset to see all the idols in the city.	Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
17	He went to the synagogue to speak to the Jews and to anyone who worshiped with them. Day after day he also spoke to everyone he met in the market.	Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
18	Some of them were Epicureans and some were Stoics, and they started arguing with him. People were asking, “What is this know-it-all trying to say?” Some even said, “Paul must be preaching about foreign gods! That's what he means when he talks about Jesus and about people rising from death.”	Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
19	They brought Paul before a council called the Areopagus, and said, “Tell us what your new teaching is all about.	And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20	We have heard you say some strange things, and we want to know what you mean.”	For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21	More than anything else the people of Athens and the foreigners living there loved to hear and to talk about anything new.	(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22	So Paul stood up in front of the council and said: People of Athens, I see that you are very religious.	Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23	As I was going through your city and looking at the things you worship, I found an altar with the words, “To an Unknown God.” You worship this God, but you don't really know him. So I want to tell you about him.	For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24	This God made the world and everything in it. He is Lord of heaven and earth, and he doesn't live in temples built by human hands.	God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25	He doesn't need help from anyone. He gives life, breath, and everything else to all people.	Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26	From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when and where every nation would be.	And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27	God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn't far from any of us,	That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28	and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. “We are his children,” just as some of your poets have said.	For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29	Since we are God's children, we must not think that he is like an idol made out of gold or silver or stone. He isn't like anything that humans have thought up and made.	Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30	In the past, God forgave all this because people did not know what they were doing. But now he says that everyone everywhere must turn to him.	And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31	He has set a day when he will judge the world's people with fairness. And he has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for him. God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death.	Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
32	As soon as the people heard Paul say a man had been raised from death, some of them started laughing. Others said, “We will hear you talk about this some other time.”	And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33	When Paul left the council meeting,	So Paul departed from among them.
34	some of the men put their faith in the Lord and went with Paul. One of them was a council member named Dionysius. A woman named Damaris and several others also put their faith in the Lord.	Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
