Acts 2:42-47(NIV)
The Fellowship of the Believers
42They
devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking
of bread and to prayer.
43Everyone
was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
44All
the believers were together and had everything in common.
45They
sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
46Every
day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in
their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47praising
God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their
number daily those who were being saved.
