ACTS 17:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
'For in him we live and move and have our being' — As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring' — Paul quotes Epimenides and Aratus, embedding gospel truth within pagan philosophical intuition. The citation strategy concedes philosophical paganism's partial apprehension of truth, yet redirects toward Christian proclamation. All being derives from God.
