⁴² They were ^(A)continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to ^(B)the breaking of bread and ^[a](C)to prayer.

^43 [b]Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many ^(D)wonders and ^[c]signs were taking place through the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all those who had believed ^[d]were together and ^(E)had all things in common; ⁴⁵ and they ^(F)began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. ^46 (G)Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and ^(H)breaking bread ^[e]from house to house, they were taking their ^[f]meals together with gladness and ^[g]sincerity of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God and ^(I)having favor with all the people. And the Lord ^(J)was adding ^[h]to their number day by day ^(K)those who were being saved.

Discipline and Prayer

¹⁵ “^(A)If your brother sins^[a], go and ^[b]show him his fault ^[c]in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. ¹⁶ But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that ^(B)by the mouth of two or three witnesses every ^[d]fact may be confirmed. ¹⁷ If he refuses to listen to them, ^(C)tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, ^(D)let him be to you as ^[e]a Gentile and ^[f]a tax collector. ¹⁸ Truly I say to you, ^(E)whatever you ^[g]bind on earth ^[h]shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you ^[i]loose on earth ^[j]shall have been loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, ^(F)it shall be done for them ^[k]by My Father who is in heaven. ²⁰ For where two or three have gathered together in My name, ^(G)I am there in their midst.”
