8ThereforeG3767 bearG4160 fruitsG2590 in keepingG514 with repentanceG3341, and 1do not beginG757 to sayG3004 2to yourselvesG1438, ‘3We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 for our fatherG3962,’ for I sayG3004 to you that from theseG3778 stonesG3037 GodG2316 is ableG1410 to raiseG1453 up childrenG5043 to AbrahamG11. 9IndeedG2532 the axeG513 is alreadyG2235 laidG2749 at the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; soG3767 4everyG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442.”

10And the crowdsG3793 were questioningG1905 him, sayingG3004, “5ThenG3767 whatG5101 shall we doG4160?” 11And he would answerG611 and sayG3004 to them, “The man who hasG2192 twoG1417 tunicsG5509 is to 6shareG3330 with him who hasG2192 noneG3361; and he who hasG2192 foodG1033 is to doG4160 likewiseG3668.” 12And some 7taxG5057 collectorsG5057 alsoG2532 cameG2064 to be baptizedG907, and they saidG3004 to him, “TeacherG1320, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?” 13And he saidG3004 to them, “8CollectG4238 noG3367 moreG4183 thanG3844 what you have been orderedG1299 to.” 14Some soldiersG4754 were questioningG1905 him, sayingG3004, “And what about us, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?” And he saidG3004 to them, “Do not takeG1286 moneyG1286 from anyoneG3367 by forceG1286, orG3366 9accuseG4811 anyone falselyG4811, and 10be contentG714 with your wagesG3800.”
