Therefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.
21
"Not every one that saith unto Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in Heaven.
22
Many will say to Me in that Day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils, and in Thy name done many wonderful works?'
23
And then will I profess unto them, `I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.'
24
"Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock.
25
And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.
26
And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
27
and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it."
28
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine;
29
for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
