(C)Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 (D)“I baptize you with water (E)for repentance, but (F)he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you (G)with the Holy Spirit and (H)fire.

11 “I baptize you with[a] water for repentance.(C) But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit(D) and fire.(E)
