Daily

All these were continually united in prayer, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.

Now Peter and John were going up together to the temple complex at the hour of prayer at three in the afternoon.

Every day in the temple complex, and in various homes, they continued teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

And they were continually in the temple complex praising God.

Breaking

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.

On the first day of the week, we assembled to break bread. Paul spoke to them, and since he was about to depart the next day, he extended his message until midnight.

From house to house

When they arrived, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying:

Peter, John,
James, Andrew,
Philip, Thomas,
Bartholomew, Matthew,
James the son of Alphaeus,
Simon the Zealot,
and Judas the son of James.

Therefore, when you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s Supper.

Did

He brought them into his house, set a meal before them, and rejoiced because he had believed God with his entire household.

You will eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice with your household in everything you do, because the Lord your God has blessed you.

Rejoice before Yahweh your God in the place where He chooses to have His name dwell—you, your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow among you.

Then he said to them, “Go and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet, and send portions to those who have nothing prepared, since today is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, because the joy of the Lord is your stronghold.”

Go, eat your bread with pleasure, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for God has already accepted your works.

But give from what is within to the poor,

and then everything is clean for you.

If I partake with thanks, why am I slandered because of something I give thanks for?

Singleness

Teach me Your way, Yahweh,
and I will live by Your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.

if exhorting, in exhortation;
giving, with generosity;
leading, with diligence;
showing mercy, with cheerfulness.

For this is our confidence: The testimony of our conscience is that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with God-given sincerity and purity, not by fleshly wisdom but by God’s grace.

But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a complete and pure devotion to Christ.

Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ.

Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.
