Luke 3:3-10
3 And he came into all (A)the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins;
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
“(B)The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
‘Make ready the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight.
5
6
‘Make ready the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight.
7 So he began saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “(F)You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and (G)do not begin to say (c)to yourselves, ‘(H)We have Abraham for our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Indeed the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; so (I)every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
