Luke:3:7-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
And the people asked him ,
saying ,
What shall we do then ?
*
He answereth and saith unto them ,
He that hath two coats ,
let him impart to him that hath none ;
and he that hath meat ,
let him do likewise .
*
Then came also publicans to be baptized ,
and said unto him ,
Master ,
what shall we do ?
*
And he said unto them ,
Exact no more than that which is appointed you .
*
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him ,
saying ,
And what shall we do ?
And he said unto them ,
Do violence to no man ,
neither accuse any falsely ;
and be content with your wages .
