Acts 2:37-47

37NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were 1piercedG2660 to the heartG2588, and saidG3004 to PeterG4074 and the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, “2BrethrenG435G80, 34whatG5101 shall we doG4160?” 38PeterG4074 said to them, “5RepentG3340, and eachG1538 of you be 6baptizedG907 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for the forgivenessG859 of your sinsG266; and you will receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 39For 7the promiseG1860 is for you and your childrenG5043 and for allG3956 whoG3588 are 8farG3112 offG3112, as manyG3745 as the LordG2962 our GodG2316 will callG4341 to Himself.” 40And with manyG4183 otherG2087 wordsG3056 he solemnlyG1263 9testifiedG1263 and kept on exhortingG3870 them, sayingG3004, “10Be savedG4982 from thisG3778 11perverseG4646 generationG1074!” 41SoG3767 thenG3767, thoseG3588 who had receivedG588 his wordG3056 were baptizedG907; and that dayG2250 there were addedG4369 aboutG5616 threeG5153 thousandG5153 1213soulsG5590. 42They were 14continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 to the apostles’G652 teachingG1322 and to fellowshipG2842, to 15the breakingG2800 of breadG740 and 1617to prayerG4335.

4318EveryoneG3956 kept feelingG1096 a senseG5401 of aweG5401; and manyG4183 19wondersG5059 and 20signsG4592 were takingG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 the apostlesG652. 44And allG3956 thoseG3588 who had believedG4100 21were togetherG1909G3588G846 and 22hadG2192 allG537 thingsG537 in commonG2839; 45and they 23began sellingG4097 their propertyG2933 and possessionsG5223 and were sharingG1266 them with allG3956, as anyoneG5100 might haveG2192 needG5532. 4624DayG2250 by dayG2250 continuingG4342 with oneG3661 mindG3661 in the templeG2413, and 25breakingG2806 breadG740 26from houseG3624 to houseG3624, they were takingG3335 their 27mealsG5160 togetherG3335 with gladnessG20 and 28sincerityG858 of heartG2588, 47praisingG134 GodG2316 and 29havingG2192 favorG5485 with allG3650 the peopleG2992. And the LordG2962 30was addingG4369 31to their numberG846 dayG2250 by dayG2250 32thoseG3588 who were being savedG4982.
