Acts 17:23-28 American Standard Version (ASV)

23. For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this I set forth unto you.

24. The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25. neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26. and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;

27. that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:

28. for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
