Acts 17:28-29 in English

²⁸ for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

²⁸ for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.

²⁸ As someone has said, ‘ It is only because he enables us that we (inc) live and move and do what we do.’ And, as some of your own poets have said, ‘We (inc) are God's children.’

²⁹ Therefore, because we are God's children and can communicate like God does, we (inc) should not think that he is anything like an image that people have made of gold or silver or stone which cannot communicate. Those images are designed and skillfully made {People design and make those images}, but they are not alive.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁸ For in him we have life and motion and existence; as certain of your verse writers have said, For we are his offspring.

²⁹ If then we are the offspring of God, it is not right for us to have the idea that God is like gold or silver or stone, formed by the art or design of man.

²⁸ for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Being therefore the offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, the graven form of man's art and imagination.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.

²⁸ for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

²⁹ Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to suppose that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and the imagination of man.

²⁸ because in Him we live and move and have our being. As also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone—something shaped by human skill and imagination.

²⁸ In him we live, move, and exist. Just as one of your own poets wrote, ‘We are his family.’

²⁹ Since we are his family we shouldn't think that God is like gold, or silver, or stone, shaped by human artistry and thinking.

²⁸ For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as also certaine of your owne Poets haue sayd, for we are also his generation.

²⁹ Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to thinke that ye Godhead is like vnto gold, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte and the inuention of man.

²⁸ for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as also some of your own poets have said: “For we are also his offspring.”

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Deity is like to gold or silver or stone, graven by the art and device of man.

²⁸ for in him we live and move and are. To use the words of some of your own poets — ‘His offspring, too, are we.’

²⁹ Therefore, as the offspring of God, we must not think that the Deity has any resemblance to anything made of gold, or silver, or stone — a work of human art and imagination.

²⁸ for in him we live and move and are. To use the words of some of your own poets — ‘His offspring, too, are we.’

²⁹ Therefore, as the offspring of God, we must not think that the Deity has any resemblance to anything made of gold, or silver, or stone — a work of human art and imagination.

²⁸ That old story is true that says, ‘He is with us all the time. He is the one that makes us alive, so that we can walk about and do things.’ And even one of your own Athens people wrote this about him, ‘We are his kids.’

²⁹ So, if it is true that we are God’s kids, we shouldn’t just dream up something and say, ‘My god looks like this,’ and then make a statue like that from gold or silver or stone. Nobody can make any kind of statue that is anything like God.

²⁸ For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.

²⁹ For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.

²⁸ For in him we live and move and have our being, just as one of your own poets has said, 'For we also are his offspring.'

²⁹ Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the qualities of deity are like gold, or silver, or stone—images created by the art and imagination of man.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like to gold, or silver, or stone graven by art and man's device.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and be. As also some of your poets said, And we be also the kind or the kin of him.

²⁹ Therefore since we be the kind or the kin of God, we shall not deem or guess that godly thing is like gold, and silver, either stone, either to engraving of craft and thought of man.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and be. As also some of your poets said, And we be also the kind or the kin of him.

²⁹ Therefore since we be the kind or the kin of God, we shall not deem or guess that (a) godly thing is like gold, and silver, either stone, either to (the) (en)graving of craft and thought of man.

²⁸ for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.

²⁹ 'Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man;
