Acts 17:26-28 GW . . .From one man he [God] has made every nation of humanity to live all over the earth. He has given them the seasons of the year and the boundaries within which to live. (27) He has done this so that they would look for God, somehow reach for him, and find him. In fact, he is never far from any one of us. (28) Certainly, we live, move, and exist because of him. As some of your poets have said, 'We are God's children.'
Acts 17:26-28 ESV . . .And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, (27) that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, (28) for "'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, "'For we are indeed his offspring.'
Acts 17:26-28 GNB . . .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. (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; (28) as someone has said, 'In him we live and move and exist.' It is as some of your poets have said, 'We too are his children.'
Acts 17:26-28 NWT . . .And he made out of one [man] every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed times and the set limits of the dwelling of [men], 27 for them to seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him, although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us. 28 For by him we have life and move and exist, even as certain ones of the poets among YOU have said, ‘For we are also his progeny.’
Acts 17:26-28 BBE . . .And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands, (27) So that they might make search for God, in order, if possible, to get knowledge of him and make discovery of him, though he is not far from every one of us: (28) For in him we have life and motion and existence; as certain of your verse writers have said, For we are his offspring.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
