Acts 17:28-30
Worldwide English (New Testament)
28 In him we live, and move, and are alive. Some of your own writers have said, "We have come from him".
29 `Therefore we have all come from God. So we should not think that God is something made of gold, or silver, or stone. He is not made by men's hands.
30 In times past God did not look at what people did. They did not know any better then. But now he is calling all people to stop doing those things.

New International Version
28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a](A) 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.(B) 30 In the past God overlooked(C) such ignorance,(D) but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.(E)
