43 There is no good tree that bears bad fruits, nor a bad tree that bears good fruits. 44 For every tree is known by its own fruits. For they do not gather figs from thistles, nor gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45 A good man brings out good things from the good treasure of his heart; and a bad man from the bad treasure of his heart brings out bad things; for from the abundance of the heart the lips speak. 46 Why do you call me, My Lord, my Lord, and do not do what I say? 47 Every man who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like. 48 He is like a man who built a house, and dug deep, and laid its foundations upon the rock; and when the flood came, the flood beat upon that house, and could not shake it; for its foundation was laid upon a rock. 49 And he who hears and does not, is like a man who built his house on the earth without a foundation; and when the river beat against it, it fell immediately, and the fall of that house was great.
