43 For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit. 44 For every tree is known by its own fruit: for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape-bunch from the bramble. 45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure of his heart brings forth that which is wicked: for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks. 46 But why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing the same, I will show you to whom he is like. 48 He is like unto a man building a house, who dug and went down deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock: and there being a flood, the river broke against that house, and it was not able to shake it; for it was founded on the rock. 49 But the one hearing and not doing, is like unto a man building his house upon the ground without a foundation; against which the river broke, and it fell immediately, and great was the fall of that house.
