Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance and do not begin to say to yourselves ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones, God can raise up children for Abraham.” —Luke 3:2-3;7-8 NIV

But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” —Luke 3:10-11; 13-14; 16 NIV
