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.

11 Il leur répondit: Que celui qui a deux tuniques partage avec celui qui n’en a point, et que celui qui a de quoi manger agisse de même.
