Acts 17:26-29
English Standard Version
26 And (A)he made from one man every nation of mankind to live (B)on all the face of the earth, (C)having determined allotted periods and (D)the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 (E)that they should seek God, (F)and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. (G)Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for
as even some of (I)your own poets have said,
“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’[b]
29 (J)Being then God's offspring, (K)we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.
