42 Todos se dedicavam de coração ao ensino dos apóstolos, à comunhão, ao partir do pão e à oração.

43 Havia em todos eles um profundo temor, e os apóstolos realizavam muitos sinais e maravilhas. 44 Os que criam se reuniam num só lugar e compartilhavam tudo que possuíam. 45 Vendiam propriedades e bens e repartiam o dinheiro com os necessitados, 46 adoravam juntos no templo diariamente, reuniam-se nos lares para comer e partiam o pão com grande alegria e generosidade, 47 sempre louvando a Deus e desfrutando a simpatia de todo o povo. E, a cada dia, o Senhor lhes acrescentava aqueles que iam sendo salvos.

42 They continually devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to times of prayer.

43 A sense of fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.

44 All the believers were together, and they shared everything with one another.

45 They made it their practice to sell their possessions and goods and to distribute the proceeds to anyone who was in need.

46 They had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They ate at each other's homes and shared their food with glad and humble hearts.

47 They kept praising God and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the Lord was adding to them people who were being saved.
