Luke 3:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶John answered, saying to all, ^(A)“I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will ^(B)baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹⁷His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and ^(C)gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.”

¹⁸And with many other exhortations he preached to the people.

Malachi 4:1-3

New King James Version

The Great Day of God

4 “For behold, ^(A)the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all ^(B)the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be ^(C)stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“That will ^(D)leave them neither root nor branch.
²But to you who ^(E)fear My name
The ^(F)Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
³^(G)You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I do this,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
