“The God who made the world and

everything in it
is the Lord of heaven and earth
and does not live in temples built by hands.
And
he is not served by human hands,
as if he needed anything,
because he
himself gives all men life and breath
and everything else.
From
one man he made every nation of men,
that they should inhabit the whole
earth;
and he determined the times set for them
and the exact places
where they should live.
God did this so that men would seek him
and perhaps reach out for him and find him,
though he is not far from each one of us.
‘For in him we live and move
and have our being.’
and have our being.’
