21
"Not all those who say that I am their Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. The only people who will enter the kingdom of heaven are those who do what my Father in heaven wants.
22
On the last day many people will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, we spoke for you, and through you we forced out demons and did many miracles.'
23

"Everyone who hears my words and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.
25
It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and hit that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on rock.
26
Everyone who hears my words and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27
It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and hit that house, and it fell with a big crash."
