[26] He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings, [27] that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for 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 some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'
