Gospel, Luke 6:43-49

⁴³ 'There is no sound tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces sound fruit.

⁴⁴ Every tree can be told by its own fruit: people do not pick figs from thorns, nor gather grapes from brambles.

⁴⁵ Good people draw what is good from the store of goodness in their hearts; bad people draw what is bad from the store of badness. For the words of the mouth flow out of what fills the heart.

⁴⁶ 'Why do you call me, "Lord, Lord" and not do what I say?

⁴⁷ 'Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and acts on them -- I will show you what such a person is like.

⁴⁸ Such a person is like the man who, when he built a house, dug, and dug deep, and laid the foundations on rock; when the river was in flood it bore down on that house but could not shake it, it was so well built.

⁴⁹ But someone who listens and does nothing is like the man who built a house on soil, with no foundations; as soon as the river bore down on it, it collapsed; and what a ruin that house became!'
