7 He|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004" therefore|strong="G3767" to|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" multitudes|strong="G3793" that|strong="G3588" went|strong="G1607" out|strong="G1607" to|strong="G3004" be|strong="G3195" baptized of|strong="G5259" him|strong="G3588", Ye|strong="G5210" offspring|strong="G1081" of|strong="G5259" vipers|strong="G2191", who|strong="G5101" warned|strong="G5263" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G3004" flee|strong="G5343" from|strong="G5259" the|strong="G3588" wrath|strong="G3709" to|strong="G3004" come|strong="G3195"?

9 And|strong="G2532" even|strong="G2532" now|strong="G1161" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" axe also|strong="G2532" laid|strong="G2749" unto|strong="G4314" the|strong="G2532" root|strong="G4491" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" trees|strong="G1186": every|strong="G3956" tree|strong="G1186" therefore|strong="G3767" that|strong="G3588" bringeth|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3361" forth|strong="G4160" good|strong="G2570" fruit|strong="G2590" is|strong="G3588" hewn down|strong="G1581", and|strong="G2532" cast|strong="G2532" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" fire|strong="G4442".
10 And|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" multitudes|strong="G3793" asked|strong="G1905" him|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004", What|strong="G5101" then|strong="G3767" must|strong="G4160" we|strong="G2532" do|strong="G4160"?
11 And|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" answered|strong="G3004" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588", He|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" hath|strong="G2192" two|strong="G1417" coats|strong="G5509", let|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" impart|strong="G3330" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" hath|strong="G2192" none|strong="G3361"; and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" hath|strong="G2192" food|strong="G1033", let|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" do|strong="G4160" likewise|strong="G3668".
12 And|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" also|strong="G2532" publicans|strong="G5057" to|strong="G4314" be|strong="G2532" baptized, and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G4314" him|strong="G4160", Master|strong="G1320", what|strong="G5101" must|strong="G4160" we|strong="G2532" do|strong="G4160"?

14 And|strong="G2532" soldiers|strong="G4754" also|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G1905" him|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004", And|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249", what|strong="G5101" must|strong="G4160" we|strong="G2249" do|strong="G4160"? And|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588", Do|strong="G4160" violence to|strong="G4314" no|strong="G3367" man|strong="G3367", neither|strong="G3366" exact anything wrongfully; and|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" content|strong="G4160" with|strong="G4314" your|strong="G2532" wages|strong="G3800".
15 And|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G2992" were|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" expectation|strong="G4328", and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" men|strong="G3956" reasoned|strong="G1260" in|strong="G1722" their|strong="G2532" hearts|strong="G2588" concerning|strong="G4012" John|strong="G2491", whether|strong="G2532" haply|strong="G3379" he|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547";
16 John|strong="G2491" answered|strong="G3004", saying|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956", I|strong="G1473" indeed|strong="G2532" baptize you|strong="G5210" with|strong="G1722" water|strong="G5204"; but|strong="G1161" there|strong="G2532" cometh|strong="G2064" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" mightier|strong="G2478" than|strong="G2478" I|strong="G1473", the|strong="G1722" latchet|strong="G2438" of|strong="G4151" whose|strong="G3739" shoes|strong="G5266" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" worthy|strong="G2425" to|strong="G2532" unloose|strong="G3089": he|strong="G2532" shall|strong="G2532" baptize you|strong="G5210" with|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Holy|strong="G4151" Ghost|strong="G4151" and|strong="G2532" with fire|strong="G4442":
17 whose|strong="G3739" fan|strong="G4425" is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1519" hand|strong="G5495", throughly|strong="G1722" to|strong="G1519" cleanse his|strong="G1519" threshing-floor, and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" gather|strong="G4863" the|strong="G1722" wheat|strong="G4621" into|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" garner; but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" chaff he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" burn|strong="G2618" up|strong="G1519" with|strong="G1722" unquenchable fire|strong="G4442".
18 With|strong="G2532" many|strong="G4183" other|strong="G2087" exhortations|strong="G3870" therefore|strong="G3767" preached|strong="G2097" he|strong="G2532" good|strong="G2097" tidings|strong="G2097" unto|strong="G2097" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992";
19 but|strong="G1161" Herod|strong="G2264" the|strong="G2532" tetrarch|strong="G5076", being|strong="G2532" reproved|strong="G1651" by|strong="G5259" him|strong="G3588" for|strong="G4012" Herodias|strong="G2266" his|strong="G3956" brother’s wife|strong="G1135", and|strong="G2532" for|strong="G4012" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" evil|strong="G4190" things|strong="G3956" which|strong="G3739" Herod|strong="G2264" had|strong="G2532" done|strong="G4160",
