Settings

17 So, 1every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
19 2Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus you will recognize them 3by their fruits.

I Never Knew You

21 4"Not everyone who 5says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will 6enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who 7does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 8On that day 9many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not 10prophesy in your name, and cast out demons 11in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23 12And then will I declare to them, 'I 13never knew you; 14depart from me, 15you workers of lawlessness.'

Build Your House on the Rock

24 16"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like 17a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like 18a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."
