divine
theios describes what is associated with God, including power and nature, and in Acts a divine being not comparable to crafted images.
The attested use chiefly qualifies power and nature as belonging to God in 2 Peter 1:3 and 2 Peter 1:4; Acts 17:29 uses the neuter form for the divine being that should not be imagined as a human-made image.

The divine being contrasted with images · occasional
In Acts 17:29, the accusative singular neuter form occurs in the warning not to think of the divine being as like gold, silver, stone, or an image formed by human art and imagination.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the adjective with “power” and “nature” in 2 Peter 1:3 and 2 Peter 1:4, and as “the divine being” in Acts 17:29. These renderings reflect whole clauses rather than word-level alignment.
