Berean Standard Bible
“‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’”
To show that God is near, Paul quotes Greek writers his audience would recognize. The first line is usually traced to the Cretan poet Epimenides, and the second, about being God's offspring, to the Stoic poet Aratus, who came from Paul's home region of Cilicia.
