24 This God made the world and everything in it. He is Lord of heaven and earth, and he doesn't live in temples built by human hands.
25 He doesn't need help from anyone. He gives life, breath, and everything else to all people.
26 From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when and where every nation would be.
27 God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn't far from any of us,
28 and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. “We are his children,” just as some of your poets have said.
29 Since we are God's children, we must not think that he is like an idol made out of gold or silver or stone. He isn't like anything that humans have thought up and made.
30 In the past, God forgave all this because people did not know what they were doing. But now he says that everyone everywhere must turn to him.
