"You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence" (Acts 2:28 ESV).

"And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. ...And they were selling their possessions and belongings and sharing the proceeds with all, as any had need" (Acts 2:42, 45 ESV).
