Acts 2:41-47 - A Generous And Growing Church

⁴¹ Then those who responded [by faith] to the words [spoken by Peter and the apostles] were immersed, and about three thousand persons were added to them [i.e., the apostles] on that day. ⁴² And these [new converts] continued regularly [to listen] to the teaching of the apostles and to share with them; they broke bread [in memory of Jesus] and continued praying.

⁴³ Everyone [who saw this happen] was filled with awe at the many miracles and [supernatural] signs performed by the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all the believers [in Jesus] were together and shared everything. ⁴⁵ They sold their belongings and property and divided [the money] among all [the believers] according to each one's need. ⁴⁶ And every day they continued to meet together in the Temple [i.e., for teaching and worship]. They were enjoying their meals and the close fellowship they shared in the various homes, and were ⁴⁷ praising God and enjoying favor with all the people [of the area]. And every day the Lord added to their number [i.e., to the church] those who were being saved [i.e., upon their obedience to the Gospel].
