Luke 6:47

The Sermon On The Plain: Two Houses And Two Foundations

⁴⁶ Why do you call me 'Master! Master!' and yet fail to do what I tell you? ⁴⁷  Every one who comes to me and listens to my teaching and acts upon it--I will show you to whom he may be compared. ⁴⁸ He may be compared to a man building a house, who dug, and went deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock. Then, when a flood came, the river swept down upon that house, but had no power to shake it, because it had been built well.
