43 For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor does an evil tree produce good fruit.
44 For each and every tree is known by its fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape from the bramble bush.

46 But why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I say?
47 Anyone who comes to me, and listens to my words, and does them: I will reveal to you what he is like.
48 He is like a man building a house, who has dug deep and has laid the foundation upon the rock. Then, when the floodwaters came, the river was rushing against that house, and it was not able to move it. For it was founded upon the rock.
