Other Translations - Acts 2:37-47:
 When
the people heard this, they were cut to the heart
and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers,
what shall we do?" 38 Peter replied,
"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and
your children and for all who are far off--for all
whom the Lord our God will call." 40 With
many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with
them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt
generation." 41 Those who accepted his
message were baptized, and about three thousand were
added to their number that day. 42 They
devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to
the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to
prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe,
and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by
the apostles. 44 All the believers were
together and had everything in common. 45
Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to
anyone as he had need. 46 Every day they
continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together
with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and
enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord
added to their number daily those who were being
saved. (NIV)
 Now
when they heard this, they were cut to the heart,
and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men
and brethren, what shall we do?" 38 Then
Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of
you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to
you and to your children, and to all who are afar
off, as many as the Lord our God will call." 40
And with many other words he testified and exhorted
them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse
generation." 41 Then those who gladly
received his word were baptized; and that day about
three thousand souls were added to them. 42
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread,
and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon
every soul, and many wonders and signs were done
through the apostles. 44 Now all who
believed were together, and had all things in
common, 45 and sold their possessions and
goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had
need. 46 So continuing daily with one
accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house
to house, they ate their food with gladness and
simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and
having favor with all the people. And the Lord added
to the church daily those who were being saved. (NKJ)
 Now
when they heard this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the
apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? 38
And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto
the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit. 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. 40 And with many other
words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save
yourselves from this crooked generation. 41
They then that received his word were baptized: and
there were added unto them in that day about three
thousand souls. the apostles work miracles 42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles'
teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread
and the prayers. 43 And fear came upon
every soul: and many wonders and signs were done
through the apostles. 44 And all that
believed were together, and had all things common;
45 and they sold their possessions and
goods, and parted them to all, according as any man
had need. 46 And day by day, continuing
stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread at home, they took their food with
gladness and singleness of heart, 47
praising God, and having favor with all the people.
And the Lord added to them day by day those that
were saved. (ASV)
 Now
when they heard this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the
apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39
For the promise is unto you, and to your children,
and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many
other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save
yourselves from this untoward generation. 41
Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized: and the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls. the apostles work
miracles 42 And they continued stedfastly
in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in
breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And
fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and
signs were done by the apostles. 44 And
all that believed were together, and had all things
common; 45 And sold their possessions and
goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had
need. 46 And they, continuing daily with
one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from
house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and
singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and
having favour with all the people. And the Lord
added to the church daily such as should be saved. (KJV)

when they heard this, they were pierced to the
heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the
apostles, "Brethren , what shall we do?" 38
Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you 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 "For the
promise is for you and your children and for all who
are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call
to Himself." 40 And with many other words
he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them,
saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!"
41 So then, those who had received his
word were baptized; and that day there were added
about three thousand souls. 42 They were
continually devoting themselves to the apostles'
teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread
and to prayer. 43 Everyone kept feeling a
sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking
place through the apostles. 44 And all
those who had believed were together and had all
things in common; 45 and they began
selling their property and possessions and were
sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. 46
Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple,
and breaking bread from house to house, they were
taking their meals together with gladness and
sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and
having favor with all the people. And the Lord was
adding to their
