Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For this promise is to you and to your children and to all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call." And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this perverse generation." Those who received his word were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship and in the breaking of bread and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all who believed were together, and had all things in common, selling goods and goods, and dividing them to all, as any had need. And daily with one accord in the temple, breaking bread in various houses, eating with gladness and sincerity of heart. (Acts 2:39-46) The sharp weapons of the church of Jesus 1.
