All the believers kept meeting together, and they shared everything with each other.
The whole group of believers lived in harmony. No one called any of his possessions his own. Instead, they shared everything.
He had some land. He sold it and turned the money over to the apostles.
They agreed to hold back some of the money ⌞they had pledged⌟ and turned only part of it over to the apostles.
While you had the land, it was your own. After it was sold, you could have done as you pleased with the money. So how could you do a thing like this? You didn’t lie to people but to God!”
You know about the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was rich, yet for your sake he became poor in order to make you rich through his poverty.
