Matthew 7:21-27
Christian Standard Bible
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,(A) but only the one who does the will(B) of my Father in heaven.(C) 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, drive out demons(D) in your name, and do many miracles in your name?’(E) 23 Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you lawbreakers!’[a][b](F)
The Two Foundations
24 “Therefore,(G) everyone who hears these words(H) of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash.”
