俾其尋上帝、庶揣摩得之、然彼不遠我儕一人也、

欲人求主、庶揣摩得之、而主離我不遠、

欲其尋主、庶揣摩得之、然主實離我各人不遠、

俾知追求所天、庶幾冥心索摸、得識真主。實則天主之於人人、近在咫尺；

God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

God did this so that people would seek him. And perhaps they would reach out for him and find him. They would find him even though he is not far from any of us.

that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,

“ His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him— though he is not far from any one of us.

He did this so that they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:

He did this so they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

so that they would search for God and perhaps grope around for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

“ For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?

“ Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,“ And not a God afar off?Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;“ Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, Says the Lord who does all these things.’

Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.If I say,“ Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

“ But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!
