Acts 17:24-28 (ESV)

^24  The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,

^25  nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

^26  And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,

^27  that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,

^28  for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’
