Matthew 3:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ Do the things that show you really have changed your hearts and lives. ⁹ And don’t think you can say to yourselves, ‘Abraham is our father.’ I tell you that God could make children for Abraham from these rocks. ¹⁰ The ax is now ready to cut down the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.^[a]
