Matthew 7:24

The Sermon On The Mount: Two Houses And Two Foundations

²³ And then I will profess to them, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, ye who work lawlessness. ²⁴ Therefore every man, whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock. ²⁵ And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded upon the rock.
