3. 42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper[a]), and to prayer. 43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 

4. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity, all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

8. 1 Cor. 15:45
The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.”
But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit.
經 上 也 是 這 樣 記 著 說 ： 首 先 的 人 亞 當 成 了 有 靈 （ 靈 ： 或 作 血 氣 ） 的 活 人 ； 末 後 的 亞 當 成 了 叫 人 活 的 靈
Así está escrito: «El primer hombre, Adán, se convirtió en un ser viviente»; el último Adán, en el Espíritu que da vida.
