Luke 3:7-14
7He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, c“You brood of dvipers! Who warned you to flee from ethe wrath to come? 8Bear fruits fin keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, g‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from hthese stones to raise up children for Abraham. 9Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. iEvery tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10And the crowds asked him, j“What then shall we do?” 11And he answered them, k“Whoever has two tunics2 is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 12lTax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, jwhat shall we do?” 13And he said to them, m“Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” 14Soldiers also asked him, “And we, jwhat shall we do?” And he said to them, m“Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your nwages.”
