38 Then Peter said to them, a“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the1 remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is to you and ato your children, and bto all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
A Vital Church Grows
40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this1 perverse generation.”
41 Then those who1 gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
42 aAnd they continued steadfastly in the apostles’1 doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Then fear came upon every soul, and amany wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Now all who believed were together, and ahad all things in common,
45 and1 sold their possessions and goods, and adivided them among all, as anyone had need.
46 aSo continuing daily with one accord bin the temple, and cbreaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And athe Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
