Living_Oracles(i)
7 Then said he to the multitudes, who flocked out to be immersed by him, Offspring of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from the impending vengeance?
8 Produce, then, the proper fruits of reformation; and say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I assure you, that of these stones God can raise children to Abraham.
9 And even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Every tree, therefore, which produces not good fruit, is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
10 Upon this, the multitude asked him, What must we do then?
11 He answered, Let him who has two coats, impart to him who has none; and let him who has victuals do the same.
12 There came also publicans to be immersed, who said, Rabbi, what must we do?
13 He answered, Exact no more than what is appointed you.
14 Soldiers likewise asked him, And what must we do? He answered, Injure no man, either by violence, or false accusation, and be content with your allowance.
