Acts 17:31
Compare all
29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, awe ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.  
30 Truly, athese times of ignorance God overlooked, but bnow commands all men everywhere to repent,  
31 because He has appointed a day on which aHe will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by braising Him from the dead.”  
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.”
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Acts 17:31

Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world—Such language beyond doubt teaches that the judgment will, in its essence, be a solemn judicial assize held upon all mankind at once. "Aptly is this uttered on the Areopagus, the seat of judgment" [BENGEL].

by that man whom he hath ordained—compare John 5:22-23, John 5:27; Acts 10:42.

whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead—the most patent evidence to mankind at large of the judicial authority with which the Risen One is clothed.
