Luke 6:46-49

Build Your House on the Rock

46 ¹“Why ²do you call me ‘Lord, Lord, ’ and not do what I tell you?

47 ³Everyone 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 on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. ^[a]

49 ⁴But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and ⁵the ruin of that house was great. ”
