1599 Geneva Bible
15 [a]And saying, O men, why do ye these things? We are even men subject to the [b]like passions that ye be, and preach unto you, that ye should turn from these [c]vain things unto the living God, (A)which made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that in them are:
16 [d]Who in times past (B)[e]suffered all the Gentiles to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless, he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food, and gladness.
