Acts 17:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything. Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything. 26 He made from one[a] the whole human race to dwell on the entire surface of the earth, and he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions, 27 so that people might seek God, even perhaps grope for him and find him, though indeed he is not far from any one of us.(A)

Acts 17:25-27
New International Version
25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.(A) 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.(B) 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.(C)
