24rThe God who made the world and everything in it, being sLord of heaven and earth, tdoes not live in temples made by man,3 25nor is he served by human hands, uas though he needed anything, since he himself vgives to all mankind wlife and breath and everything. 26And xhe made from one man every nation of mankind to live yon all the face of the earth, zhaving determined allotted periods and athe boundaries of their dwelling place, 27bthat they should seek God, cand perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. dYet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28for
e“‘In him we live and move and have our being’;4
as even some of fyour own poets have said,
“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’5
29gBeing then God's offspring, hwe 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. 30iThe times of ignorance jGod overlooked, but know he lcommands all people everywhere to repent, 31because he has fixed ma day on which nhe will judge the world oin righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and pof this he has given assurance to all qby raising him from the dead.”
