Matthew 7:24-27

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Two Foundations

²⁴ “Therefore ^(A)everyone who hears these words of Mine and ^[a]acts on them, ^[b]may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ And the rain fell, and the ^[c]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not ^[d]act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. ²⁷ The rain fell, and the ^[e]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
