23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’[a]
Hearing and Doing
24 “Everyone[b] who hears these words of mine and does them is like[c] a wise man[d] who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the flood[e] came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because its foundation had been laid on rock.
