Matthew 3:8-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

^8 (A)Therefore bear fruit ^(B)in keeping with repentance; ⁹ and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘^(C)We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. ¹⁰ The ^(D)axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore ^(E)every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
