6:43 “For 7 no good tree bears bad 8 fruit, nor again 9 does a bad tree bear good fruit, 6:44 for each tree is known 10 by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered 11 from thorns, nor are grapes picked 12 from brambles. 13 6:45 The good person out of the good treasury of his 14 heart 15 produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury 16 produces evil, for his mouth speaks 17 from what fills 18 his heart.
6:46 “Why 19 do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ 20 and don’t do what I tell you? 21
6:47 “Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them into practice 22 – I will show you what he is like: 6:48 He is like a man 23 building a house, who dug down deep, 24 and laid the foundation on bedrock. When 25 a flood came, the river 26 burst against that house but 27 could not shake it, because it had been well built. 28 6:49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice 29 is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When 30 the river burst against that house, 31 it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!” 32
