“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.”
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. — the description of communal life (kardia kai psychē mia, one heart and soul) shows radical unity and agreement. The sharing (koina panta, all things common) is reiterated: no one claims exclusive ownership (idios, one's own, private, individual). The economic sharing is not command but expression of koinōnia (fellowship, community of goods).
