Acts 17:25 Context
23For as I passed by, and beheld your deuotions, I found an Altar with this inscription, TO THE VNKNOWEN GOD. Whom therefore yee ignorantly worship, him declare I vnto you. 24God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that hee is Lord of heauen and earth, dwelleth not in Temples made with hands: 25Neither is worshipped with mens hands as though he needed any thing, seeing hee giueth to all, life and breath, and all things, 26And hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation: 27That they should seeke the Lord, if haply they might feele after him and finde him, though he be not farre from euery one of vs.

Wesley's Notes for Acts 17:25
17:25 Neither is he served as though he needed any thing - or person - The Greek word equally takes in both. To all - That live and breathe; - in him we live; and breathe - In him we move. By breathing life is continued. I breathe this moment: the next is not in my power: and all things - For in him we are. So exactly do the parts of this discourse answer each other.
