Acts 4:32

Context
Conditions Among the Early Believers

4:32 The group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, 1  and no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but everything was held in common. 2 

1 tn Grk “soul.”

2 tn Grk “but all things were to them in common.”

sn Everything was held in common. The remark is not a reflection of political philosophy, but of the extent of their spontaneous commitment to one another. Such a response does not have the function of a command, but is reflective of an attitude that Luke commends as evidence of their identification with one another.
