They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

And let us not give up meeting together. Some are in the habit of doing this. Instead, let us encourage one another with words of hope. Let us do this even more as you see Christ’s return approaching.

They all came together regularly to pray. The women joined them too. So did Jesus’ mother Mary and his brothers.

On the first day of the week we met to break bread and eat together. Paul spoke to the people. He kept on talking until midnight because he planned to leave the next day.

But suppose we walk in the light, just as he is in the light. Then we share life with one another. And the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us pure from all sin.

Every day they met together in the temple courtyard. They ate meals together in their homes. Their hearts were glad and sincere.

But you must keep your faith steady and firm. You must not move away from the hope the good news holds out to you. This is the good news that you heard. It has been preached to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, now serve the good news.

But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith. Let the Holy Spirit guide and help you when you pray.

Then we can give our attention to prayer and to teaching God’s word.”

When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad. He told them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.

Give a lot of time and effort to prayer. Always be watchful and thankful.

But we don’t belong to the people who pull back and are destroyed. We belong to the people who believe and are saved.

At all times, pray by the power of the Spirit. Pray all kinds of prayers. Be watchful, so that you can pray. Always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Then Paul went upstairs again. He broke bread and ate with them. He kept on talking until daylight. Then he left.

You can’t drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too. You can’t have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

There they helped the believers gain strength. They told them to remain faithful to what they had been taught.“ We must go through many hard times to enter God’s kingdom,” they said.

We give thanks for the cup at the Lord’s Supper. When we do, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? When we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ?Just as there is one loaf, so we who are many are one body. We all share the one loaf.

Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed him.“ If you obey my teaching,” he said,“ you are really my disciples.Then you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free.”

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. They were bold when they spoke God’s word.

You are a building that is built on the apostles and prophets. They are the foundation. Christ Jesus himself is the most important stone in the building.

But I want you to continue to follow what you have learned and are sure about. You know the people you learned it from.

Dear friends, you have already been warned about this. So be on your guard. Then you won’t be led astray by people who don’t obey the law. Instead, you will remain safe.Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to him both now and forever. Amen.

These enemies left our community of believers. They didn’t really belong to us. If they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But by leaving they showed that none of them belonged to us.

I am amazed. You are so quickly deserting the one who chose you. He chose you to live in the grace that Christ has provided. You are turning to a different“ good news.”

So when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.As you eat, some of you go ahead and eat your own private meals. Because of this, one person stays hungry and another gets drunk.Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? You are shaming those in the church who have nothing. Do you think so little of God’s church that you do this? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? Certainly not about the Lord’s Supper!I passed on to you what I received from the Lord. On the night the Lord Jesus was handed over to his enemies, he took bread.When he had given thanks, he broke it. He said,“ This is my body. It is given for you. Every time you eat it, do it in memory of me.”In the same way, after supper he took the cup. He said,“ This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Every time you drink it, do it in memory of me.”You eat the bread and drink the cup. When you do this, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.

I praise you for being faithful in remembering me. I also praise you for staying true to the teachings of the past. You have stayed true to them, just as I gave them to you.

When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful.

Then the two of them told what had happened to them on the way. They told how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.

Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders. I want to encourage you to think in a way that is pure.I want you to remember the words the holy prophets spoke in the past. Remember the command our Lord and Savior gave through your apostles.

The apostles did many signs and wonders among the people. All the believers used to meet together at Solomon’s Porch.No outsider dared to join them. But the people thought highly of them.More and more men and women believed in the Lord. They joined the other believers.

Peter and John were allowed to leave. They went back to their own people. They reported everything the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

And what is seed scattered on rocky places like? The people hear the message. At once they receive it with joy.But they have no roots. So they last only a short time. They quickly fall away from the faith when trouble or suffering comes because of the message.
