Matthew 7:24

The Sermon On The Mount: Two Houses And Two Foundations

Depart from me, workers of lawlessness. ²⁴ Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.
