Acts 17:27 in Context — Acts 17
25 E nem também é servido por mãos humanas; [como que] necessitasse de alguma coisa; [porque] ele [é que] dá a todos vida, respiração, e todas as coisas;
26 E de um sangue ele fez toda nação humana, para habitarem sobre a face da terra, determinando os tempos desde antes ordenados, e o limites da morada [deles] ;
27 Para que buscassem ao Senhor, se talvez pudessem apalpá-lo e encontrá-lo,apesar dele não estar longe de cada um de nós.
28 Porque nele vivemos, e nos movemos, e somos; assim como também alguns de vossos poetas disseram; porque também nós somos descendência dele.
29 Sendo então descendência de Deus, nós não devemos pensar que a divindade seja semelhante a ouro, ou a prata, ou a pedra esculpida por artifício e imaginação humana.
