Acts 17:28-30
Tree of Life Version
[a] 28 for ‘In Him we live and move and have our being.’
As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His offspring.’ [b] 29 Since we are His offspring, we ought not to suppose the Deity is like gold or silver or stone, an engraved image of human art and imagination. [c] 30 Although God overlooked the periods of ignorance, now He commands everyone everywhere to repent.
