⁹ And having been ^(A)perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,

⁷ He again sets a certain day, “Today,” saying ^[a]through David after so long a time just ^(A)as has been said before,

The Unshaken Kingdom

^25 (A)See to it that you do not refuse Him who is ^(B)speaking. For ^(C)if those did not escape when they ^(D)refused him who ^(E)warned them on earth, ^[a]much less will we escape who turn away from Him who ^(F)warns us from heaven.

¹⁵ “^(A)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(A)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(B)follow My word; and ^(C)My Father will love him, and We ^(D)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

²⁴ The one who does not love Me ^(A)does not follow My words; and ^(B)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

²⁸ But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are ^(A)those who hear the word of God and follow it.”

The Parable of the Builders

⁴⁶ “Now ^(A)why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? ^47 (B)Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and ^[a]acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: ⁴⁸ he is like a man building a house, who ^[b]dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when there was a flood, the river burst against that house and yet it could not shake it, because it had been well built. ⁴⁹ But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; and the river burst against it and it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”

²³ But this is ^[a]what I commanded them, saying, ‘^(A)Obey My voice, and ^(B)I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you shall walk ^[b]entirely in the way which I command you, so that it may ^(C)go well for you.’
