Exegesis
The emphatic pronoun autos {αὐτός | au-tós} ‘He Himself’ precedes the participle didous {διδοὺς | di-doús} ‘giving,’ underlining the contrast between the unserved God and His role as the giver.
In context — Acts 17:25
Nor is He served by human hands as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things.
