38. Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39. For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
40. With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”
41. Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
42. They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in the prayers.
43. Fear came to every soul. And many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44. All who believed were together and had all things in common.
45. They sold their property and goods and distributed them to all, according to their need.
46. And continuing daily with one mind in the temple, and breaking 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 the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
