³⁷ Now when ^(A)they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, ^(B)what shall we do?” ³⁸ And Peter said to them, ^(C)“Repent and ^(D)be baptized every one of you ^(E)in the name of Jesus Christ ^(F)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^(G)the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For ^(H)the promise is for you and ^(I)for your children and for all ^(J)who are far off, everyone ^(K)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” ⁴⁰ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ^(L)“Save yourselves from this ^(M)crooked generation.” ⁴¹ So those who received his word were baptized, and ^(N)there were added that day about three thousand souls.

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴² And ^(O)they devoted themselves to the apostles' ^(P)teaching and the ^(Q)fellowship, to ^(R)the breaking of bread and the prayers.

⁴⁶ And day by day, ^(A)attending the temple ^(B)together and ^(C)breaking bread in their homes, they received their food ^(D)with glad and generous hearts, ⁴⁷ praising God and ^(E)having favor with all the people. And the Lord ^(F)added to their number ^(G)day by day those who ^(H)were being saved.
