Matt. 7:24-27
24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and
does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
25 "and the rain descended,
the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not
fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 "But everyone who hears
these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who
built his house on the sand:
27 "and the rain descended,
the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And
great was its fall."
