Acts 17:26-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 From one man[a] He has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live.(A) 27 He did this so they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.(B) 28 For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’[b](C)
