Exegesis
The object hapanta koina {ἅπαντα κοινά | há-pan-ta koi-ná} places hapanta in the first position to stress the comprehensiveness of what was shared, with koina functioning predicatively (“all things {as} common”). The translation preserves this two-part imperfect structure (“were together” / “were having” or “shared”) to convey durative aspect, while rendering epi to auto idiomatically as “together/stayed united” and expressing hapanta koina as “all things in common” / “shared everything” to show both totality and mutuality.
Root and etymology
koinoskappa–omicron–iota–nu–omicron–sigma
“common, shared, belonging to several”
In context — Acts 2:44
And all who believed were together, and they were having all things in common .
