John Says To Produce Fruit Worthy of Repentance, Because The Chaff Will Be Burned
7 But having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to[a] his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers— who showed[b] you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance. 9 And do not think that you may say within[c] 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!
