Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV): “Therefore everyone who hears
these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built
his house on the rock. [25] The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds
blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its
foundation on the rock. [26] But everyone who hears these words of mine and
does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on
sand. [27] The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat
against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
