Acts 17:27 in context

  1. 25neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
  2. 26and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;
  3. 27that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:
  4. 28for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
  5. 29Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.
