Matthew 3:10
3:10 Even now the ax is laid at
the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
Luke 13:7
13:7 So
he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, ‘For
three years
now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it
I find none. Cut
it down! Why
should it continue to deplete
the soil?’
Luke 16:22-26
16:22 “Now the poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.
16:23 And in hell, as he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far off with Lazarus at his side.
16:24 So he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in this fire.’
16:25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus likewise bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish.
16:26 Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’
