46 De ce mă chemaţi: Doamne, Doamne!, dar nu faceţi ce vă spun?47 Vă voi arăta cu cine seamănă cel care vine la mine, ascultă cuvintele mele şi le împlineşte:48 se aseamănă cu un om care construieşte o casă, care a săpat adânc şi a pus temelia pe stâncă; au crescut apele, a izbit puhoiul în casa aceea, dar n-a putut să o clintească pentru că era bine construită.49 Astfel, cel care ascultă dar nu împlineşte este asemenea omului care şi-a construit casa pe pământ, fără temelie. A izbit puhoiul şi îndată casa aceea s-a prăbuşit, iar căderea ei a fost mare.”
Matthew 7
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
