Luke 3:7-9

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

⁷ Therefore he was saying to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers— who showed^[a] you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say within^[b] yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father’. For I say to you that God is able to raise-up children for Abraham from these stones! ⁹ And indeed the axe is already lying^[c] at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire”.
