Matthew 3:8-12
81ThereforeG3767 bearG4160 fruitG2590 2in keepingG514 with repentanceG3341; 9and do not supposeG1380 that you can sayG3004 to 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. 10The 4axeG513 is alreadyG2235 laidG2749 at the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; thereforeG3767 5everyG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442.
11“As for me, 6I baptizeG907 you 7with waterG5204 for repentanceG3341, but He who is comingG2064 afterG3694 me is mightierG2478 than I, and I amG1510 not fitG2425 to removeG941 His sandalsG5266; 8He will baptizeG907 you 9with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and fireG4442. 12His 10winnowingG4425 forkG4425 is in His handG5495, and He will thoroughlyG1245 clearG1245 His threshingG257 floorG257; and He will 11gatherG4863 His wheatG4621 into the barnG596, but He will burnG2618 up the 12chaffG892 with 13unquenchableG762 fireG4442.”
