Luke 6: 43 - 49
43"For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit;44for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.45The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.46"Why do you call me `Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?47Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:48he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.49But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
