 had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them. … neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold, and laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.  (Acts 4:32–35;  cf.  Acts 2:44–45)
