Acts 17:28 states, "For in him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are indeed his offspring’" (RSV). Part of Paul's sermon to Greek philosophers on Mars Hill, it highlights God as the immediate source of life, animation, and existence, referencing local poets to bridge their thought with Christian theology.
