Luke:3:3-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he came into all the country about Jordan ,
preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins ;
*
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet ,
saying ,
The voice of one crying in the wilderness ,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord ,
make his paths straight .
*
Every valley shall be filled ,
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low ;
and the crooked shall be made straight ,
and the rough ways shall be made smooth ;
*
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God .
*
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him ,
O generation of vipers ,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come ?
*
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance ,
and begin not to say within yourselves ,
We have Abraham to our father :
for I say unto you ,
That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham .
*
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees :
every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down ,
and cast into the fire .
