Luke 3:9-14

9Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

10So the crowds were asking him, “What then should we do?”

11John answered them, “The person who has two tunics must share with the person who has none, and the person who has food must do likewise.”

12Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”

13He told them, “Collect no more than you are required to.”

14Then some soldiers also asked him, “And as for us – what should we do?” He told them, “Take money from no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your pay.”
