Acts 17:24-28

24 "1The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is 2Lord of heaven and earth, does not 3dwell in temples made with hands;
25 nor is He served by human hands, 4as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;
26 and 5He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having 6determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,
27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, 7though * He is not far from each one of us;
28 for 8in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.'
