Mat 7:15"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

Mat 7:17

(Luk 6:47–49 )

Mat 7:24

Mat 7:24"Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

Mat 7:25

Mat 7:25and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

Mat 7:26

Mat 7:26And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

Mat 7:27

Mat 7:27and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."

Mat 7:28
