Acts 2:42-47 |

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone
kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common;
and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people And the
Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. |
