Acts 17:23

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? turn ye again: or, turn ye back elements: or, rudiments

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; to retain: or, to acknowledge a reprobate...: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
