46
"Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?
47
Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:
48
he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49
But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
