Luke 6:44-49 ▼

44 for each tree is known from its own fruit, for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they crop a grape from a bramble.

45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart his mouth speaks.

46 And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?

47 Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words, and is doing them, I will show you to whom he is like:

48 he is like to a man building a house, who dug and deepened, and laid a foundation on the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.

49 And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having built a house on the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream broke forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.”
