Matthew 7

24 "Therefore aeveryone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
26 "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

Luke 6

46 "aWhy do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
47 "aEveryone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:
48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49 "But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."

James 1

22 aBut prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face ain a mirror;
24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, athe law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be bblessed in what he does.

James 2

14 aWhat use is it, bmy brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?
15 aIf a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, "aGo in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?
17 Even so afaith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
18 aBut someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your bfaith without the works, and I will cshow you my faith dby my works."
19 You believe that aGod is one. bYou do well; cthe demons also believe, and shudder.
20 But are you willing to recognize, ayou foolish fellow, that bfaith without works is useless?
