Acts 17:28

For in him we live and move about ¹  and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we too are his offspring.’ ² 

1Sa 25:29; Job 12:10; Ps 36:9; Ps 66:9; Lu 3:38; Lu 20:38; Joh 5:26; Joh 11:25; Col 1:17; Tit 1:12; Heb 1:3; Heb 12:9

¹ tn According to L&N 15.1, “A strictly literal translation of κινέω in Ac 17:28 might imply merely moving from one place to another. The meaning, however, is generalized movement and activity; therefore, it may be possible to translate κινούμεθα as ‘we come and go’ or ‘we move about’’ or even ‘we do what we do.’”

² sn This quotation is from Aratus (ca. 310-245 b.c.), Phaenomena 5. Paul asserted a general relationship and accountability to God for all humanity.
