Exegesis
Two prepositional phrases, en agalliasei {ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει | en a-gal-li-á-sei} “in exultation” and en aphelotēti kardias {ἐν ἀφελότητι καρδίας | en a-phe-lo-tē-ti kar-dí-as} “in sincerity of heart,” describe the inner disposition accompanying their fellowship, combining exuberant joy with transparent, undivided hearts. The translations preserve the participial structure and imperfect aspect by using progressive forms and by reflecting the temple-to-house movement that shapes the community’s life.
In context — Acts 2:46
Day by day they were devoting themselves with one accord in the temple , and, breaking bread from house to house, they were sharing food with gladness and sincerity of heart.
