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.”
ጳውሎስ የይሖዋ አምላኪዎች ላልነበሩት የልስጥራ ከተማ ነዋሪዎች እንዲህ ብሏቸዋል፦ “[አምላክ] ባለፉት ትውልዶች ሕዝቦች ሁሉ በራሳቸው መንገድ እንዲሄዱ ፈቀደላቸው፤ ይሁንና መልካም ነገሮች በማድረግ ለራሱ ምሥክር ከማቅረብ ወደኋላ አላለም፤ ከሰማይ ዝናብ በማዝነብ እንዲሁም ፍሬያማ ወቅቶችን በመስጠት የተትረፈረፈ ምግብ ያቀርብላችኋል፣ ልባችሁንም በደስታ ይሞላዋል።”jw2019 jw2019
