And don’t start saying to yourselves, “We have Abraham as our father,”^(D) for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones. ⁹ The axe is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.’^(E)
