New Testament

Matthew 7:23-28 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

23. Then I will tell them clearly, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who do evil!'

24. "So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock.

25. The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock.

26. "But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand.

27. The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash."

28. Jesus finished saying all these things. The crowds were amazed at his teaching.
