Matthew 7:19-29 ▼

19 Euery tree that bryngeth not foorth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fyre.

20 Wherfore, by theyr fruites, ye shall knowe them.

21 Not euery one, that sayeth vnto me Lorde, Lorde, shall enter into the kyngdome of heauen: but he that doeth the wyll of my father, which is in heauen.

22 Many wyll say to me in that day, Lorde Lorde, haue we not prophesied thorowe thy name? and thorowe thy name haue cast out deuyls? & done many great workes thorowe thy name?

23 And then wyll I confesse vnto them, I neuer knewe you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie.

24 Therfore, whosoeuer heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth the same, I wyll lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt his house vpon a rocke:

25 And the rayne descended, and the fluddes came, and the wyndes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell not, because it was grounded on a rocke.

26 And euery one that heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth them not, shalbe lykened vnto a foolyshe man, which buylt his house vpon the sande:

27 And the rayne descended, and the fluddes came, and the wyndes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these sayinges, the people were astonied at his doctrine.

29 For he taught them, as one hauyng power, and not as the Scribes.
