Acts 4:32-35World English Bible (WEB)
32The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.33With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.34For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,35and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
Psalm 133Amplified Bible (AMP)
A Song of[a]Ascents. Of David.
133Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
2
It is like the precious oil [of consecration] poured on the head,
Coming down on the beard,
Even the beard of Aaron,
Coming down upon the edge of his [priestly] robes [consecrating the whole body].
3
It is like the dew of [Mount] Hermon
Coming down on the hills of Zion;
For there theLordhas commanded the blessing: life forevermore.
1 John 1:1-2:2Lexham English Bible (LEB)
1What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and our hands have touched, concerning the word of life—2and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify and announce to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us—3what we have seen and heard, we announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowshipiswith the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.4And thesethingswe write, in order that our joy may be complete.
5And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light and thereisno darkness in him at all.6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.[a]7But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.8If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so that he will forgive usour[b]sins and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness.10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
2My little children, I am writing thesethingsto you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteousone,2and he[c]is the propitiation[d]for our sins, and not for ours only, but also forthe sins ofthe whole world.
