1599 Geneva Bible
16 [a]Who in times past (A)[b]suffered all the Gentiles to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless, he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food, and gladness.
18 And speaking these things, scarce appeased they the multitude, that they had not sacrificed unto them.
