Matthew 7:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ The Wise and Foolish Builders.^[a]“Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts in accordance with them will be like a wise man who constructed his house on a rock foundation. ²⁵ The rain came down, the flood waters rose, and fierce winds battered that house. However, it did not collapse, because it had its foundations on rock.

²⁶ “In contrast, everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act in accordance with them will be like a fool who constructed his house on a foundation of sand.
