“I have come ¹  to bring ²  fire on the earth – and how I wish it were already kindled!

but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. ¹ 

When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, ¹  and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be ²  cut down and thrown into the fire.”

His winnowing fork ¹  is in his hand to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, ²  but the chaff he will burn up with inextinguishable fire.” ³ 

John answered them all, ¹  “I baptize you with water, ²  but one more powerful than I am is coming – I am not worthy ³  to untie the strap ⁴  of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ⁵
