Footnotes

  1. 99 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. 100 This quotation is from Aratus ( 310–245 b.c.), Phaenomena 5. Paul asserted a general relationship and accountability to God for all humanity.
