Acts 4:2 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXVII

Neither do we observe that this was regarded by the apostles only in the ordinations of bishops and priests, but also in those of deacons, of which matter itself also it is written in their Acts: "And they twelve called together," it says, "the whole congregation of the disciples, and said to them; "[17]

Acts 4:4 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

For this reason, too, did the apostles, collecting the sheep which had perished of the house of Israel, and discoursing to them from the Scriptures, prove that this crucified Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God; and they persuaded a great multitude, who, however, [already] possessed the fear of God. And there were, in one day, baptized three, and four, and five thousand men.[339]

Let a more earnest care, moreover, be bestowed upon the glorious confessors. And although I know that very many of those have been maintained by the vow[2]

Acts 4:6 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book V

And if any one who accompanies with them is caught, and falls into misfortune, he is blessed, because he is partaker with the martyr, and is one that imitates the sufferings of Christ; for we ourselves also, when we oftentimes received stripes from Caiaphas, and Alexander, and Annas, for Christ's sake, "went out rejoicing that we were counted worthy to suffer such things for our Saviour."[3]

and opened your heart to the Lord, believing that you can be saved by no other than by His great and glorious name.[14]

Acts 4:12 - NIV, NAB - in A Treatise on Re-Baptism by an Anonymous Writer

Nor, as I think, was it for any other reason that the apostles had charged those whom they addressed in the Holy Spirit, that they should be baptized in the name of Christ Jesus, except that the power of the name of Jesus invoked upon any man by baptism might afford to him who should be baptized no slight advantage for the attainment of salvation, as Peter relates in the Acts of the Apostles, saying: "For there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved."[15]

Acts 4:12 - NIV, NAB - in Acts of Saint Philip the Apostle When He Went to Upper Hellas

Acts 4:25 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book III

By thus departing from Judaism itself, when they exchanged the obligations and burdens of the law for the liberty of the gospel, they were fulfilling the psalm, "Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast away their yoke from us; "and this indeed (they did) after that "the heathen raged, and the people imagined vain devices; "after that "the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers took their counsel together against the Lord, and against His Christ."[315]

and we read in the Acts of the Apostles, "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul."[10]

Divine Scripture proves this, when it says, "But the multitude of them which believed were of one heart and of one soul."[68]

Such, then, was the abundance in labours, as was the agreement in love, as we read in the Acts of the Apostles: "And the multitude of them that believed acted with one heart and one soul; neither was there any distinction among them, nor did they esteem anything their own of the goods which belonged to them, but they had all things common."[63]

Acts 4:32 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews

Acts 4:32 - NIV, NAB - in Didache

Acts 4:34 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian De Fuga in Persecutione

If we cannot serve God and mammon, can we be redeemed both by God and by mammon? For who will serve mammon more than the man whom mammon has ransomed? Finally, of what example do you avail yourself to warrant your averting by money the giving of you up?
