(For what is God’s prophesied true “tent”, his new holy place under his new covenant, the prophesied promise of the Father to place himself into believers to live in them as his new permanent domicile, a true “tent” not built with mortal’s hands but with his own hand, see Ex. 15:17; 2 Sam. 7:5-16; Isa. 8:14; Ezek. 11:16; Joel 2:28-29; Amos 9:11-12; Mat. 3:11, 16:18, 26:61, 27:39-40; Mark 14:58, 15:29; Luke 3:21-22, 24:49; *John 2:19-22, 3:1-, 4:20-24, 7:37-39, 14:2, *23; Acts 1:4-5, 2:16-18, 33, 38-39, *7:44-50, *15:16-18, *17:24, *20:28; *Rom. 8:9-11, 12:4-5; 1 Cor. *3:16-17, *6:19-20, 10:16-17, 12:12-28; *2 Cor. 5:1, *6:16-18; Gal. 3:14, 22; Eph. 1:13-14, 22-23, *2:17-22, 3:6, 4:11-16, 5:30-32; Col. 1:18-27, 2:6-10, 3:15; *1 Thes. 5:9-11; *1 Tim. 3:15; *2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. *3:4-6, 8:2, *9:11-15, *24, 10:21, 36; 1 Pet. 2:4-5; 1 John 4:12-16; Rev. 3:12, 7:15, 11:19, *13:6, *21:3, 22)
Acts 17:25 (LIT/UBS4) But absolutely not (oude) under (hupo) [authority, AE] of hands (cheirōn) of mortals (anthrōpinōn) is [the God, v24, RE] being given therapy (therapeuetai), he [absolutely not, RE] causing himself to beg (prosdeomenos) for something (tinos);
he (autos) giving (didous) to all (pasi) life (zōēn), and (kai) breath (pnoēn), and (kai) all (panta) the things (ta)!
Acts 17:26 (LIT/UBS4) And (te) he made (epoiēsen) out (ex) of one (henos) [mortal, RE] every (pan) ethnic group (ethnos) of mortals (anthrōpōn);
to home-down (katoikein) over (epi) every (pantos) face (prosōpou) of the (tēs) land (gēs), he having segregated (horisas) [every ethnic group, RE];
they having been arranged toward (prostetagmenous) times (kairous), and (kai) the (tas) set boundaries (horothesias) of the (tēs) homing-down place (katoikias) of them (autōn),
Acts 17:27 (LIT/UBS4) to search (zētein) for the (ton) God (theon), if (ei) so (ara) indeed (ge) they may feel (psēlaphēseian) for him (auton), and (kai) they may find (heuroien) [the God, RE].
And (kai) indeed (ge) [the God, RE] [is] absolutely not (ou) far off (makran) from (apo) each (hekastou) one (henos) of us (hēmōn) being under control (huparchonta) [of him, AE]!
Acts 17:28 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) in (en) him (autō) we live (zōmen), and (kai) we are (esmen) moved (kinoumetha) also (kai);
as (hōs) some (tines) also (kai) of the (tōn) performers (poiētōn) have stated (eirēkasin) down according to (kath’) you (humas), “Because (gar) we are (esmen) [a] genus (genos) also (kai) of the (tou) [God, v27, RE].”
Acts 17:29 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), <we being> [a] genus (genos) under control (huparchontes) of the (tou) God (theou), we absolutely do not owe (ouk opheilomen) to decide (nomizein) the (to) godly one (theion) to be (einai) like (homoion) [a] gold (chrusō), or (ē) [a] silver (argurō), or (ē) [a] stone (lithō) character (charagmati) of technical ability (technēs), and (kai) of [an] inner passion (enthumēseōs) of [a] mortal (anthrōpou)!
Acts 17:30 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), truly (men), the (ho) God (theos) having overlooked (huperidōn) the (tous) times (chronous) of the (tēs) ignorance (agnoias), the (ta) [God, RE] now (nun) gives instruction (parangellei) to the (tois) mortals (anthrōpois), all (pantas) everywhere (pantachou), to repent (metanoein);
Acts 17:31 (LIT/UBS4) because down on account of (kathoti) [repentance, v30, RE] he established (estēsen) [a] day (hēmeran) in (en) which (hē) he is about (mellei) to judge (krinein) the (tēn) inhabited land (oikoumenēn) in (en) righteousness (dikaiosunē), in (en) [a] male (andri) for which (hō) he was segregated (hōrisen);
he having held alongside (paraschōn) belief (pistin) to all (pasin), he having stood him up (anastēsas auton) out (ek) of dead ones (nekrōn)!"
Acts 17:32 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) they having heard (akousantes) of [a] standing up (anastasin) of dead ones (nekrōn), truly (men) the (hoi) [Athenians, v21, RE] were jeering (echleuazon)!
But (de) the (hoi) [strangers, v21, RE] enunciated (eipan), “We shall cause ourselves to hear (akousometha) of you (sou) about (peir) this (toutou) again (palin) also (kai).”
Acts 17:33 (LIT/UBS4) Thusly (houtōs) the (ho) Paul (Paulos) came out (exēlthen) out (ek) of [the] midst (mesou) of them (autōn).
Acts 17:34 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) some (tines) males (andres) having been glued2853 (kollēthentes) to him (autō), believed (episteusan);
among (en) whom (hois) [were being] both (kai) Dionysius (Dionusios) the (ho) Areopagite (Areopagitēs), and (kai) [a] female (gunē) by name (onomati) of Damaris (Damaris), and (kai) ones of another kind (heteroi) together with (sun) them (autois).
