Luke 6:44-49
6:44 for each tree is known
by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered
from thorns, nor are grapes picked
from brambles.
6:45 The good person out of the good treasury of his
heart
produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury
produces evil, for his mouth speaks
from what fills
his heart.
6:46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do what I tell you?
6:47 “Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them into practice – I will show you what he is like:
6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep, and laid the foundation on bedrock. When a flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built.
6:49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against that house, it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!”
