³⁹ For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

³⁷ When the people heard what Peter said , they felt very guilty IDM. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we (exc) do so that God will forgive us ?”

³⁸ Peter answered them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then we(exc) will baptize you, if you now believe in Jesus Christ. Then God will give you the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ God has promised to do that MTY for you and your descendants, and for all others who believe in him, even those who live far away from here. The Lord our God will give his Spirit to everyone whom he invites to become his people!”

⁴⁰ Peter spoke much more and spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “ Ask God to save you so that he will not punish you when he punishes these evil people who have rejected Jesus!”

⁴¹ So the people who believed Peter's message were baptized. There were about three thousand SYN who joined the group of believers that day.

⁴² They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together with the other believers. And they continually ate together and celebrated the Lord's Supper, and continually prayed together.

⁴³ All the people SYN who were in Jerusalem were greatly revering God because the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.

⁴⁴ All of those who believed in Jesus were united and regularly met together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁸ Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

³⁹ For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

⁴⁴ All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

³⁷ Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

³⁸ And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

³⁹ For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God.

⁴⁰ And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation.

⁴¹ Then those who gave hearing to his words had baptism: and about three thousand souls were joined to them that day.

⁴² And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer.

⁴³ But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

⁴⁴ And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common;

⁴³ And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles' means.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common,

³⁷ Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?

³⁸ But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰ And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

⁴¹ They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³ And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.

⁴⁴ And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.

³⁷ Now having heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁸ Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴² And they were continuing in the teaching of the apostles, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³ Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

⁴⁴ Now all who believed were together, and they had all things in common,

³⁷ Now upon hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?!”

³⁸ So Peter said to them: “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, upon the name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away—as many, that is, as the Lord our God may call.”

⁴⁰ With many different words he both testified and kept exhorting, saying, “Escape from this perverse generation!”

⁴² And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' teaching and in the fellowship, both in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.

⁴³ Fear came upon every soul—many wonders and signs were taking place through the Apostles.

⁴⁴ Now all who believed were together and had all things in common;

³⁷ When the people heard this they were conscience-stricken. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”

³⁸ “Repent!” Peter told them. “All of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ This promise is given to you, to your children, and to all who are far away—everyone the Lord our God calls.”

⁴⁰ Peter went on speaking, giving them much more evidence. He warned them, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation.”

⁴¹ Those who accepted what he'd said were baptized, adding about three thousand people to the group of believers that day.

⁴² They committed themselves to what the apostles had taught them, and to the fellowship of the believers, “breaking bread” and praying together.

⁴³ Everyone was in awe, and many miracles and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ All the believers were together and shared everything they had.

³⁷ Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?

⁴² And they were constantly attending on the teaching of the apostles, and the imparting of their substance, the breaking of bread, and the prayers.

⁴³ And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were wrought through the apostles.

Then God will not pay you back for those bad things. And he will give you the Holy Spirit to live in you just like he promised. You see, God promised to give the Holy Spirit to everyone that he picks to be his own people. God promised this to you, and to your kids, and even to people in other countries a long way away.”

⁴⁰ And Peter told them a lot more things to be careful about. He kept telling them, “Let God save you so that he will not punish you along with all these crooks that don’t want Jesus.”
