Addressing people in the city of Lystra who were not worshippers of God, Paul said: “In the past generations [God] permitted all the nations to go on in their ways, although, indeed, he did not leave himself without witness in that he did good, giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts to the full with food and good cheer. ”
Paulus pöördus Lüstra linna elanike poole, kes ei teeninud Jumalat, ja ütles neile: „Varasemate põlvkondade ajal lubas ta [Jumal] küll kõigil rahvastel käia nende oma teedel, kuid ta pole siiski jätnud andmata endast tunnistust, tehes head, andes teile vihma taevast, viljarikkaid aegu ja külluslikult toitu ning täites teie südame rõõmuga. ”
