⁴² They all gave full attention to the teaching of the apostles and to the common life, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. ⁴³ Great awe fell on everyone, and many remarkable deeds and signs were performed by the apostles.

⁴⁴ All of those who believed came together, and held everything in common. ⁴⁵ They sold their possessions and belongings and divided them up to everyone in proportion to their various needs. ⁴⁶ Day by day they were all together attending the Temple. They broke bread in their various houses, and ate their food with glad and sincere hearts, ⁴⁷ praising God and standing in favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being rescued.
