Matthew 3:7-12

7But when he sawG3708 manyG4183 of the 1PhariseesG5330 and 2SadduceesG4523 comingG2064 for baptismG908, he saidG3004 to them, “You 3broodG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 warnedG5263 you to fleeG5343 from 4the wrathG3709 to comeG3195? 85ThereforeG3767 bearG4160 fruitG2590 6in keepingG514 with repentanceG3341; 9and do not supposeG1380 that you can sayG3004 to yourselvesG1438, ‘7We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 for our fatherG3962’; for I sayG3004 to you that from theseG3778 stonesG3037 GodG2316 is ableG1410 to raiseG1453 up childrenG5043 to AbrahamG11. 10The 8axeG513 is alreadyG2235 laidG2749 at the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; thereforeG3767 9everyG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442.

11“As for me, 10I baptizeG907 you 11with waterG5204 for repentanceG3341, but He who is comingG2064 afterG3694 me is mightierG2478 than I, and I amG1510 not fitG2425 to removeG941 His sandalsG5266; 12He will baptizeG907 you 13with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and fireG4442. 12His 14winnowingG4425 forkG4425 is in His handG5495, and He will thoroughlyG1245 clearG1245 His threshingG257 floorG257; and He will 15gatherG4863 His wheatG4621 into the barnG596, but He will burnG2618 up the 16chaffG892 with 17unquenchableG762 fireG4442.”
