46 ^a“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?

47 ^aWhoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:

49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it¹ fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”
