Acts 17:22

Then Paul stood in front of the Areopagus and said: "Athenians, I see (understand after careful examination) that in everything you are very religious.
[The word "very religious" can have a positive or negative meaning. It can be interpreted pejoratively to say that someone is superstitious and overinterprets the spiritual. By using this expression, Paul keeps his audience's interest. We understand from the continuation that it is the positive meaning that Paul is referring to, that they revere and sanctify the divine more than other Greeks.]
