Acts 2:45

GenerosityPoverty and the vulnerable

43 A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.

Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

46 With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,

47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
