men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He deter-
mined the times set for them and the exact places where they
should live. God did this so that men would seek Him and
perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far
from each one of us. 'For in Him we live [we live only to gain

God's good pleasure] and move and have our being.' As some
of your own poets have said, 'We are [by God's blessing] His
offspring.'" (Acts, 17:24-28)

brothers, even though they are strangers to you. They have
told the church about your love. You will do well to send them

please God]. It was for the sake of the Name [for God's sake]
that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. (3 John,
1:5-7)
