40 Peter warned them with many other words. He begged them, “Save yourselves from the evil of today’s people!”
41 Then those people who accepted what Peter said were baptized. About 3,000 people were added to the number of believers that day.
42 They spent their time learning the apostles’ teaching. And they continued to share, to break bread, and to pray together.
43 The apostles were doing many miracles and signs. And everyone felt great respect for God.
44 All the believers stayed together. They shared everything.
45 They sold their land and the things they owned. Then they divided the money and gave it to those people who needed it.
46 The believers met together in the Temple every day. They all had the same purpose. They broke bread in their homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts.
