Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὑπὸ χειρῶν ἀνθρωπίνων θεραπεύεται
by hands human /is_being/_healed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “do hands of men care for him”
προσδεόμενός τινος
additionally_needing ˱of˲_anything
Alternate translation: “as if he needed anything”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ὑπὸ χειρῶν ἀνθρωπίνων
by hands human
Paul is using one part of a person, the hands, to represent all of a person in the act of supposedly caring for God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
αὐτὸς διδοὺς
he giving
Paul is using the word himself for emphasis. Alternate translation: “because he himself gives”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ζωὴν, καὶ πνοὴν
life and breath
The terms life and breath mean similar things. Paul is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “existence itself”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πᾶσι
˱to˲_all
By all, Paul implicitly means “all people.” You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “to all people”
17:16-34 In this chapter, we see Paul presented as a model witness for Christ, engaging the thinkers of his day and challenging them with the Christian message. Paul quoted writers his audience would be familiar with and showed the relevance of the gospel by dialoguing with them, critiquing their assumptions, and offering Jesus as a constructive alternative (see Col 1:28). Paul reminded these proud intellectuals that there is a living God to whom all human beings are answerable; that they will be judged by him through Jesus, whom God raised from the dead; and that they should therefore repent and put their faith in Jesus.
