Acts 17:28

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 {G1063} in {G1722} him {G846} we live {G2198}, and {G2532} move {G2795}, and {G2532} have our being {G2070}; as {G5613} certain {G5100} also {G2532} of your {G5209} own {G2596} poets {G4163} have said {G2046}, For {G1063} we are {G2070} also {G2532} his {G5120} offspring {G1085}.

‘for in him we live and move and exist.’ Indeed, as some of the poets among you have said, ‘We are actually his children.’

‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’

for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
