Matthew 7:24–27 · WEBTopic: Good Works

24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”

Same saying, another account

Parallel to Matthew 7:24–27

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who he is like.

48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

49 But he who hears and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
