Acts 14:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ “·Friends [^LMen], why are you doing these things? We are only human beings ·like [of the same nature as] you. We are bringing you the ·Good News [Gospel] and are telling you to turn away from these worthless things and turn to the living God. He is the One who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them [Ex. 20:11; Ps. 146:6]. ¹⁶ In the past [^Lgenerations], God let all the nations ·do what they wanted [^Lgo their own way]. ¹⁷ Yet he ·proved he is real [^Lhas not left himself without a witness] by ·showing kindness [doing good], by giving you rain from heaven and crops at the right ·times [seasons], by ·giving you [satisfying/filling you with] food and filling your hearts with joy [Ps. 104:13–15].”
