Luke 6:47-49

The Sermon on the Plain: Two Houses and Two Foundations

47 "Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and does them--I will show you what he is like:

48 he is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And [when] a flood came, the river burst against that house and was not able to shake it, because it had been built well.

49 But the one who hears [my words] and does not do [them] is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, which the river burst against, and immediately it collapsed--and the collapse of that house was great!"
