Matthew 3:8-12

81Therefore produce fruit 2consistent with repentance; 9and do not assume that you can say to yourselves, ‘3We have Abraham as our father’; for I tell you that God is able, from these stones, to raise up children for Abraham. 10And the 4axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore, 5every tree that does not bear good fruit is being cut down and thrown into the fire.

11“As for me, 6I baptize you 7with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; 8He will baptize you 9with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12His 10winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will 11gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the 12chaff with 13unquenchable fire.”
