Acts 17:27-29
Wycliffe Bible
27 to seek God, if peradventure they feel him, either find, though he be not far from each of you.
28 For in him we live, and move, and be. As also some of your poets said, And we be also the kind of him [Soothly we be also the kin of him].
29 Therefore since we be the kind of God, we shall not deem, that godly thing is like gold, and silver, either stone, either to graving of craft and thought of man.[a]

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.(A) 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a](B) As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[b]
29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.(C)
