Acts 17:29 Context
27That they should seeke the Lord, if haply they might feele after him and finde him, though he be not farre from euery one of vs. 28For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as certaine also of your owne Poets haue said, For we are also his offspring. 29Forasmuch then as wee are the offspring of God, wee ought not to thinke that the Godhead is like vnto golde, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte, and mans deuice. 30And the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth all men euery where to repent: 31Because hee hath appointed a day in the which he will iudge the world in righteousnesse, by that man whom hee hath ordeined, whereof he hath giuen assurance vnto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
