Acts 2:42-47

42 They were 1continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to 2the breaking of bread and 3to prayer.
43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many 4wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
44 And all those who had believed were together * * and 5had all things in common;
45 and they 6began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.
46 7Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and 8breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
47 praising God and 9having favor with all the people. And the Lord 10was adding to their number day by day 11those who were being saved.
