Build on the Rock^(A)

²⁴ “Therefore ^(B)whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: ²⁵ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

²⁶ “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: ²⁷ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

¹⁸ For ^(A)through Him we both have access ^(B)by one Spirit to the Father.

Christ Our Cornerstone

¹⁹ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, ²⁰ having been ^(C)built ^(D)on the foundation of the ^(E)apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being ^(F)the chief cornerstone, ²¹ in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into ^(G)a holy temple in the Lord, ^22 (H)in whom you also are being built together for a ^(I)dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
