Luke 6:46-49

New International Version

The Wise and Foolish Builders^(A)

⁴⁶“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’^(B) and do not do what I say?^(C) ⁴⁷As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice,^(D) I will show you what they are like. ⁴⁸They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. ⁴⁹But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
