Acts 17:25-27
New Catholic Bible
25 Nor is he served by human hands as though he were in need of anything. Rather, it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and all other things. 26 From one ancestor,[a] he created all peoples to occupy the entire earth, and he decreed their appointed times and the boundaries of where they would live.
27 “He did all this so that people might seek God in the hope that by groping for him they might find him, even though indeed he is not far from any one of us.

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)
