Luke 6:45-49 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

45. The good person out of the good treasury of his heart brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

46. “And why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I tell you?

47. “Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and does them—I will show you what he is like:

48. he is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the river burst against that house and was not able to shake it, because it had been built well.

49. But the one who hears my words and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, which the river burst against, and immediately it collapsed—and the collapse of that house was great!”
