Acts 17:26-29

26and 1He madeG4160 from oneG1520 man everyG3956 nationG1484 of mankindG444 to liveG2730 on allG3956 the faceG4383 of the earthG1093, having 2determinedG3724 their appointedG4367 timesG2540 and the boundariesG3734 of their habitationG2733,

27that they would seekG2212 GodG2316, ifG1487 perhapsG686 they might gropeG5584 for Him and findG2147 Him, 3thoughG2532G1065 He is not farG3112 from eachG1538 oneG1520 of us;

28for 4in Him we liveG2198 and moveG2795 and 5existG1510, as evenG2532 someG5100 of your own poetsG4163 have saidG3004, ‘For we alsoG2532 are His childrenG1085.’

29BeingG5225 thenG3767 the childrenG1085 of GodG2316, we 6oughtG3784 not to thinkG3543 that the DivineG2304 NatureG2304 is likeG3664 goldG5557 orG2228 silverG696 orG2228 stoneG3037, an imageG5480 formedG5480 by the artG5078 and thoughtG1761 of manG444.
