41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.

The Fellowship of the First Believers

42 And they were devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayers. 43 And fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were being performed by the apostles. 44 And all who believed were in the same place, and had everything in common. 45 And they began selling* their* possessions and property, and distributing these things to all, to the degree that anyone had need. 46 And every day, devoting themselves to meeting* with one purpose in the temple courts* and breaking bread from house to house, they were eating their food with joy and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding every day to the total of those who were being saved.

24 And let us think about how to stir one another up to love* and good works, 25 not abandoning our meeting together*, as is the habit of some, but encouraging each other, and by so much more as you see the day drawing near.

The People of God Dwell in Unity

1 Look, how good and how pleasant it is

when brothers dwell together in unity.

2 It is like the fragrant oil upon the head,

running down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron,

that runs down upon the edges of his robes.

3 It is like the dew of Hermon that runs down

upon the mountains of Zion,

because there Yahweh commanded the blessing—

life forever.

14 We who would take sweet counsel together;

in the house* of God

we would walk with the throng.

Friends and Family Can Help One Another in Life

9 Two are better than the one, for they enjoy a better reward for their toil. 10 For if one falls, his companion may help him up. But pity the one who falls and there is no one* to help him up. 11 Also if two lie together, they can keep each other warm.* But how can one person be warm? 12 Although an assailant may overpower one person, two may withstand him.* A threefold cord is not easily broken!*

22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, love one another fervently from the heart,*

9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.

10 being devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another more highly in honor,

Humility and Unity

1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 complete my joy, so that you are in agreement*, having the same love, united in spirit, having one purpose*.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God,

32 Become* kind toward one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as also God in Christ has forgiven you.

13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

11 Therefore encourage one another and build up each other*, just as indeed you are doing.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.*7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

Final Greetings and Benediction

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice, be restored, be encouraged, be in agreement*, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

34 "A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
