44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common,

45 and sold their possessions and substance, and distributed them to all, according as any one might have need.

46 And every day, being constantly in the temple with one accord, and breaking bread in {the} house, they received their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

47 praising God, and having favour with all the people; and the Lord added {to the assembly} daily those that were to be saved.

44 Todos os fiéis viviam unidos e tinham tudo em comum.

45 Vendiam as suas propriedades e os seus bens, e dividiam-nos por todos, segundo a necessidade de cada um.

46 Unidos de coração freqüentavam todos os dias o templo. Partiam o pão nas casas e tomavam a comida com alegria e singeleza de coração,

47 louvando a Deus e cativando a simpatia de todo o povo. E o Senhor cada dia lhes ajuntava outros que estavam a caminho da salvação.
