42And they were devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

43And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.

44And all the believers were together and had all things in common,

45And they were selling their property and possessions and distributing them to all, as anyone had need.

46And day by day, continuing together with one purpose in the temple courts, and breaking bread from house to house, they were sharing meals with gladness and simplicity of heart,

47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding day by day those who were being saved to them.
