Luke 3:7-9

7He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, a“You brood of bvipers! Who warned you to flee from cthe wrath to come? 8Bear fruits din keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, e‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from fthese stones to raise up children for Abraham. 9Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. gEvery tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
