Matthew 3:9-12

9AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 toG3962 our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG3778 stonesG3588G3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.

10AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG3588G513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG3588G4491 of the treesG3588G1186: thereforeG3767 everyG3956 treeG1186 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.

11IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG4771 withG1722 waterG5204 untoG1519 repentanceG3341: butG1161 he thatG3588 comethG2064 afterG3694 meG1473 isG1510 mightier thanG2478 IG1473, whoseG3739 shoesG3588G5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to bearG941: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG4771 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 with fireG4442:

12WhoseG3739 fanG3588G4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG3588G5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG3588G257, andG2532 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG3588G4621 intoG1519 the garnerG3588G596; butG1161 he will burn upG2618 the chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.
