# Men, why are you doing these things? "Men, you must not do these things!" # doing these things "worshiping us" # We also are human beings, with the same nature as you "We are just human beings like you. We are not gods" # with the same nature as you "like you in every way" # turn from these useless things to the living God "stop worshiping these false gods that cannot help you, and instead begin to worship the living God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]]) # the living God "the God who truly exists" or "the God who lives"
