Example 3. Acts 17.22-31 (GNT) - 2 levels
\p
\v 22 Paul stood up in front of the city council and said,
\qt1-s |sid="qt1.ACT.17:22.1" who="Paul"\*“I see that in every way you
Athenians are very religious.
\v 23 For as I walked through your city and looked at the places where you
worship, I found an altar on which is written, ‘To an Unknown God.’ That
which you worship, then, even though you do not know it, is what I now
proclaim to you.
\v 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, is Lord of heaven and
earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
\v 25 Nor does he need anything that we can supply by working for him, since
it is he himself who gives life and breath and everything else to everyone
\v 26 From one human being he created all races of people and made them live
throughout the whole earth. He himself fixed beforehand the exact times and
the limits of the places where they would live.
\v 27 He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as
they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us;
\v 28 as someone has said,
\q1 \qt2-s |sid="qt2.ACT.17:28.1" who="someone"\*‘In him we live and move
and exist.’\qt2-e |eid="qt2.ACT.17:28.1"\*
\b
\m It is as some of your poets have said,
\q1 \qt2-s |sid="qt2.ACT.17:28.2" who="poets"\*‘We too are his children.’
\qt2-e |eid="qt2.ACT.17:28.2"\*
\b
\m
\v 29 Since we are God's children, we should not suppose that his nature is
anything like an image of gold or silver or stone, shaped by human art and
skill.
\v 30 God has overlooked the times when people did not know him, but now he
commands all of them everywhere to turn away from their evil ways.
\v 31 For he has fixed a day in which he will judge the whole world with
justice by means of a man he has chosen. He has given proof of this to
everyone by raising that man from death!”\qt1-e |eid="qt1_ACT_17:22.1"\*
