If you then, although you are evil,<n id="1" /> know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts<n id="2" /> to those who ask him!

and will come out &#8211; the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.<n id="1" />

And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, &#8220;<b><i>How timelyi>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>is the arrivali>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>of those who proclaim the good newsi>b>.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart.

The good person<n id="1" /> brings good things out of his<n id="2" /> good treasury,<n id="3" /> and the evil person brings evil things out of his evil treasury.

Then<n id="1" /> he said, &#8216;I<n id="2" /> will do this: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

And I will say to myself,<n id="1" /> &#8220;You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!&#8221;&#8217;

If you then, although you are<n id="1" /> evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit<n id="2" /> to those who ask him!&#8221;p>

But Abraham said, &#8216;Child,<n id="1" /> 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.<n id="2" />

And why not say, &#8220;Let us do evil so that good may come of it&#8221;? &#8211; as some who slander us allege that we say.<n id="1" /> (Their<n id="2" /> condemnation is deserved!)p>
