NASB
""In the generations gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways;"
— Acts 14:16, NASB
“Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.”
“who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways. ”
“who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.”
“In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own ways,”
“Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful Seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
“Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.”
“Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.”
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out
and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.
"In the generations gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways;
and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."
Even saying these things, with difficulty they restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
