baptized by him, "O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee
from the coming wrath?
003:008 Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not
begin to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our forefather,'
for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham
from these stones.
003:009 And even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees,
so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly
be hewn down and thrown into the fire."
