Acts 17:27

that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Acts 17:27 · World English Bible

In context

25neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

26He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

27that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

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

29Being 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.
