43For no good tree gives bad fruit, and no bad tree gives good fruit.
44For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants.
45The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.
46Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like:
48He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.
49But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.
