Note: In Acts 2:1 , the adverb homou, "together," is so rendered in the RV, for AV, "of one accord."from autos, "self," and haireomai, "to choose, self-chosen, voluntary, of one's own accord," occurs in 2 Corinthians 8:3,17 , of the churches of Macedonia as to their gifts for the poor saints in Judea, and of Titus in his willingness to go and exhort the church in Corinth concerning the matter. In 2 Corinthians 8:3 the RV translates it "(gave) of their own accord," consistently with the rendering in 2 Corinthians 8:17 . See WILLING.
