وَصَنَعَ مِنْ دَمٍ وَاحِدٍ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَسْكُنُونَ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَحَتَمَ بِالأَوْقَاتِ الْمُعَيَّنَةِ وَبِحُدُودِ مَسْكَنِهِمْ،

and hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth--Holding with the Old Testament teaching, that in the blood is the life (Gen 9:4; Lev 17:11; Deu 12:23), the apostle sees this life stream of the whole human race to be one, flowing from one source [BAUMGARTEN]. and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation--The apostle here opposes both Stoical Fate and Epicurean Chance, ascribing the periods and localities in which men and nations flourish to the sovereign will and prearrangements of a living God.

He was not like a candle upon a table, that gives light only to one room, but like the sun that goes its circuit to give light to many. He was called into Macedonia, a large kingdom, Act 16:9. He began with Philippi, because it was the first city he came to; but he must not confine himself to this. We have him here, I. Preaching and persecuted at Thessalonica, another city of Macedonia (Act 17:1-9). II. Preaching at Berea, where he met with an encouraging auditory, but was driven thence also by persecution (Act 17:10-15). III. Disputing at Athens, the famous university of Greece (Act 17:16-21), and the account he gave of natural religion, for the conviction of those that were addicted to polytheism and idolatry, and to lead them to the Christian religion (Act 17:22-31), together with the success of this sermon (Act 17:32-34).

وَدَعَا آدَمُ اسْمَ امْرَأَتِهِ «حَوَّاءَ» لأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ.
أَلَيْسَ أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ لِكُلِّنَا؟ أَلَيْسَ إِلهٌ وَاحِدٌ خَلَقَنَا؟ فَلِمَ نَغْدُرُ الرَّجُلُ بِأَخِيهِ لِتَدْنِيسِ عَهْدِ آبَائِنَا؟
لأَنَّهُ كَمَا فِي آدَمَ يَمُوتُ الْجَمِيعُ، هكَذَا فِي الْمَسِيحِ سَيُحْيَا الْجَمِيعُ.
الإِنْسَانُ الأَوَّلُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ تُرَابِيٌّ. الإِنْسَانُ الثَّانِي الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.
يُكَثِّرُ الأُمَمَ ثُمَّ يُبِيدُهَا. يُوَسِّعُ لِلأُمَمِ ثُمَّ يُجْلِيهَا.
إِنْ كَانَتْ أَيَّامُهُ مَحْدُودَةً، وَعَدَدُ أَشْهُرِهِ عِنْدَكَ، وَقَدْ عَيَّنْتَ أَجَلَهُ فَلاَ يَتَجَاوَزُهُ،
فِي يَدِكَ آجَالِي. نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِي وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ يَطْرُدُونَنِي.
هؤُلاَءِ الثَّلاَثَةُ هُمْ بَنُو نُوحٍ. وَمِنْ هؤُلاَءِ تَشَعَّبَتْ كُلُّ الأَرْضِ.
وَبَعْضُ الْفَاهِمِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ امْتِحَانًا لَهُمْ لِلتَّطْهِيرِ وَلِلتَّبْيِيضِ إِلَى وَقْتِ النِّهَايَةِ. لأَنَّهُ بَعْدُ إِلَى الْمِيعَادِ.
فَكَيْفَ نَنْجُو نَحْنُ إِنْ أَهْمَلْنَا خَلاَصًا هذَا مِقْدَارُهُ؟ قَدِ ابْتَدَأَ الرَّبُّ بِالتَّكَلُّمِ بِهِ، ثُمَّ تَثَبَّتَ لَنَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا،
