All Old Testament passages are cited from the Septuagint (LXX) alongside the Greek New Testament, verified for internal coherence and alignment with the character of Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus the Christ).
“καὶ ἡ γῆ οὐ πραθήσεται εἰς βεβαίωσιν· ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ γῆ, διότι προσήλυτοι καὶ πάροικοι ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐναντίον μου.”
(“And the land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is mine, because you are strangers and sojourners before me.”)
“οὐαὶ οἱ συνάπτοντες οἰκίαν πρὸς οἰκίαν καὶ ἀγρὸν πρὸς ἀγρὸν ἐγγίζοντες, ἵνα τοῦ πλησίον ἀφέλωνταί τι· μὴ οἰκήσετε μόνοι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;”
(“Woe to those who join house to house and bring field near to field, in order to take something away from their neighbor. Will you dwell alone upon the earth?”)
“καὶ ἁγιάσετε τὸ ἔτος τὸ πεντηκοστὸν καὶ διαβοήσετε ἄφεσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν· ἐνιαυτὸς ἀφέσεως σημασία αὕτη ἔσται ὑμῖν, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν κτῆσιν αὐτοῦ…”
(“And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year and proclaim release upon the earth to all those inhabiting it; a year of release this sign shall be to you, and each one shall return to his possession…”)
“Τοῦ δὲ πλήθους τῶν πιστευσάντων ἦν ἡ καρδία καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ μία, καὶ οὐδὲ εἷς τι τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ ἔλεγεν ἴδιον εἶναι, ἀλλ᾽ ἦν αὐτοῖς ἅπαντα κοινά… οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐνδεής τις ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς… διεδίδοτο δὲ ἑκάστῳ καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν.”
(“And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not even one said any of his possessions was his own, but all things were common to them… for neither was anyone among them lacking… and distribution was made to each according as anyone had need.”)
“οὐχὶ μένον σοὶ ἔμενε καὶ πραθὲν ἐν τῇ σῇ ἐξουσίᾳ ὑπῆρχεν;”
(“While it remained, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your authority?”) — Proving early Christian sharing was strictly voluntary, driven by an inward change of heart rather than state compulsion.
