Acts 17:27 in Context — Acts 17
25 il n’est point servi par des mains humaines, comme s’il avait besoin de quoi que ce soit, lui qui donne à tous la vie, la respiration, et toutes choses.
26 Il a fait que tous les hommes, sortis d’un seul sang, habitassent sur toute la surface de la terre, ayant déterminé la durée des temps et les bornes de leur demeure;
27 il a voulu qu’ils cherchassent le Seigneur, et qu’ils s’efforçassent de le trouver en tâtonnant, bien qu’il ne soit pas loin de chacun de nous,
28 car en lui nous avons la vie, le mouvement, et l’être. C’est ce qu’ont dit aussi quelques-uns de vos poètes: De lui nous sommes la race…
29 Ainsi donc, étant la race de Dieu, nous ne devons pas croire que la divinité soit semblable à de l’or, à de l’argent, ou à de la pierre, sculptés par l’art et l’industrie de l’homme.
