Acts 17:28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
"From Zeus let us begin; him do we mortals never leave unnamed;
Full of Zeus are all the streets and all the market-places of men;
Full is the sea and the heavens thereof;
Always we all have need of Zeus
For we are also his offspring"
–Phaenomena, Aratus, c. 270 B.C.
