Acts 17:28 (NASB) for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' - Supposedly he quoted the Greek poet Aratus —http://www.wscal.edu/faculty/wscwritings/commongrace.php Titus 1:12 (NASB95) One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." - Supposedly he quoted from Epimenides, a Cretan poet and philosopher from the sixth century b.c.—Bible Knowledge Commentary 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NASB95) Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." - Supposedly he quoted the pagan writer Menander. —http://www.wscal.edu/faculty/wscwritings/commongrace.php Acts 26:14b "...It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Not sure about this one but have read it was a quote of a Greek proverb. You might find this interesting http://www.wscal.edu/faculty/wscwritings/commongrace.php Keep in mind 2 Timothy 3:16!!! Steve |
