Exegesis
The main verbal idea is the negated obligation ouk opheilomen nomizein {οὐκ ὀφείλομεν νομίζειν | ouk o-pheí-lo-men no-mí-zein} ‘we ought not to think’, where the finite verb opheilomen governs the complementary infinitive nomizein.
In context — Acts 17:29
Therefore, being offspring of God , we ought not to think that the divine is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the skill and imagination of man.
