Matthew 7:20-24
20So then, you will 1know them 2by their fruits.
21“3Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 224Many will say to Me on 5that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many 6miracles?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; 7depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
24“Therefore 8everyone who hears these words of Mine and 9acts on them, 10may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
