21 Not every man that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heavens; but he that doeth the will of my Father that is in heavens, he shall enter into the kingdom of heavens. [+Not each that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heavens; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heavens, shall enter into the kingdom of 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, whether we have not prophesied in thy name, and have cast out fiends in thy name, and have done many works of power in thy name [whether we have not prophesied in thy name, and have cast out devils in thy name, and have done many virtues in thy name]?
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 I shall acknowledge to them, That I knew you never; depart away from me, ye that work wickedness.
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
24 Therefore every man that heareth these my words, and doeth them, shall be made like to a wise man, that hath builded his house on a stone [+that hath built his house on/upon a stone].
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 rain came down, and floods came, and winds blew, and rushed into that house; and it felled not down [and it fell not down], for it was founded on a stone.
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 man that heareth these my words, and doeth them not, is like to a fool, that hath builded his house on gravel [+is like to a man fool, that hath built his house upon gravel, or 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 rain came down, and floods came, and winds blew, and hurled against that house; and it felled down [and it fell down], and the falling down thereof 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 was done, when Jesus had ended these words, the people wondered on his teaching;
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
29 for he taught them, as he that had power [as a man having power], and not as the scribes and the Pharisees.
29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
