Matthew 7:24

The Sermon On The Mount: Two Houses And Two Foundations

²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ²⁴ Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: ²⁵ and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.
