^47 (A)Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and ^[a]acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: ⁴⁸ he is like a man building a house, who ^[b]dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when there was a flood, the river burst against that house and yet it could not shake it, because it had been well built.

¹⁵ “^(A)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(A)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(B)follow My word; and ^(C)My Father will love him, and We ^(D)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

²⁴ The one who does not love Me ^(A)does not follow My words; and ^(B)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

^3 (A)By this we know that we have come to ^(B)know Him, if we ^(C)keep His commandments.
