Acts 17:29 in Context — Acts 17
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.
30 Portanto Deus, tendo desconsiderado os tempos da [vossa] ignorância, agora anuncia a todos as pessoas, em todo lugar, para que se arrependam.
31 Porque ele tem estabelecido um dia em que ele julgará ao mundo em justiça por meio do homem a quem determinou; dando certeza a todos, tendo o ressuscitado dos mortos.
