"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was let down into the sea, and gathered fish of every kind,

He is like a man who was building a house, who dug deep, and laid its foundation upon the rock; and when a flood came, the torrent burst upon that house but it could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the man who merely hears them and does not practice them is like a man who built a house upon the ground without a foundation. The torrent burst upon it, and at once it collapsed, and the wreck of that house was complete."

So God has given them up to sexual impurity, in the evil trend of their heart's desires, so that they degrade their own bodies with one another,

Then the serpent made water, like a river, spout from his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with its torrent.
