The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
21 Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
21
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through *thy* name, and through *thy* name cast out demons, and through *thy* name done many works of power?
22
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
23 and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.
23
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
24 Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
24
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.
25
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
26 And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
26
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.
27
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,
28
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
29 for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
29
because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
