Luke 3:7-14

Mace(i) 7 he said therefore to the people that crowded to be baptized by him, ye brood of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from approaching wrath? 8 let your actions therefore show your repentance, and don't pretend to say within yourselves, "we have Abraham for our father:" for I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 9 the ax is already laid to the root of the trees: every tree then, which does not produce good fruit, shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire. 10 Upon which the people asked him, what then shall we do? 11 he answer'd them, let him that hath two coats give one to him that hath none; and let him that has plenty of provisions act in like manner. 12 the Publicans likewise came to be baptized, and said to him, master, how are we to act? 13 exact, said he, no more than what the law requires. 14 the soldiers too made the same demand, how are we to act? he answer'd them, injure no man either by violence or by fraud, and be content with your pay.
