Acts 2:42-47
Legacy Standard Bible

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

43 And fear came upon every soul; and many (D)wonders and [b]signs were taking place through the apostles. 44 And all those who had believed [c]were together and (E)had all things in common; 45 and they (F)began selling their property and possessions and were (G)dividing them up with all, as anyone might have need. 46 (H)And daily devoting themselves with one accord in the temple and (I)breaking bread [d]from house to house, they were taking their [e]meals together with gladness and [f]sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and (J)having favor with all the people. And the Lord (K)was adding [g]to their number daily (L)those who were being saved.

Acts 2:42-47
New Living Translation

The Believers Form a Community

42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper[a]), and to prayer.

43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity[b]— 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
