Ngaang ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe Deus emmwenen feeori faai kaan pwe tettaenin Abraham!Produce fruit, then, 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.

9Eew soapaen a oamoannatae pwe epwe gopiy tiw waniwan saengi waeran. Oanongaen waniwan kka ese gacch uwaan nge epwe gopogop tiw nge e aekkaerh nong noan aengaet.”The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
