← Luke 6:47 [words of Jesus]	Luke 6:48 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Luke 6:49 [words of Jesus] →
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:	He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.	But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
