The Fellowship of Believers

(Acts 4:32–37)

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 A sense of awe[fn] came over everyone and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling [their] possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

46 With one accord they continued [to meet] daily in the temple [courts][fn] and to break bread from house [to house], sharing [their] meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and enjoying [the] favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
