Matthew 7:20-27

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 the one 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; 7leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

24“Therefore, 8everyone who hears these words of Mine, and 9acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25And the rain fell and the 10floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not 11act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27And the rain fell and the 12floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and its collapse was great.”
