Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
New International Version NIV
46 "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things I say?
46
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to Me, hears My words, and acts on them:
47
As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn't shake it, because it was well built.
48
They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The river crashed against it, and immediately it collapsed. And the destruction of that house was great!"
49
But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
