Acts 17:23-30

NSB(i) 23 »As I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: »To An Unknown God.« What you worship as unknown, this I will proclaim to you. 24 »The God that made the world and all things in it is the Lord of heaven and earth. He does not live in temples made with hands. 25 »Men’s hands do not serve him as if he needed anything. He gives life and breath to all. 26 »From one person he made every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth. He determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation. 27 »God did this so man could seek him and might find him. He is not far from each one of us. 28 »In him we live, and move, and have our existence. Your own poets have said: For we are also his offspring. 29 »Being then the offspring of God, we should not think that the divine being is like gold, or silver, or stone, a device made by man’s design or skill. 30 »God overlooked the times of ignorance; but now he commands men everywhere to repent.
