Luke 3:7 in Context — Luke 3

5 Toute vallée sera comblée, Toute montagne et toute colline seront abaissées; Ce qui est tortueux sera redressé, Et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis.

6 Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.

7 Il disait donc à ceux qui venaient en foule pour être baptisés par lui: Races de vipères, qui vous a appris à fuir la colère à venir?

8 Produisez donc des fruits dignes de la repentance, et ne vous mettez pas à dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père! Car je vous déclare que de ces pierres Dieu peut susciter des enfants à Abraham.

9 Déjà même la cognée est mise à la racine des arbres: tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bons fruits sera coupé et jeté au feu.
