Matthew 7:24-25

Build Your House on the Rock

24 ^a“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like ^ba wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

Luke 6:48

48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts founded upon the rock}

John 15:4-5

4 ^dAbide ^ein me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; ^fyou are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ^gbears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

1 Corinthians 3:9-15

9 For we are ^hGod’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, ⁱGod’s building.

10 ^jAccording to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a ^kfoundation, and ^lsomeone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a ^mfoundation other ⁿthan that which is laid, ^owhich is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 ^peach one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ^qby fire, and ^rthe fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^she will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ^tbut only as through fire.

Ephesians 2:20-22

20 ^ubuilt on the foundation of the ^vapostles and prophets, ^wChrist Jesus himself being ^xthe cornerstone, 21 ^yin whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^za holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him ^aayou also are being built together ^abinto a dwelling place for God by ^{▼▼Or in} the Spirit.

1 Peter 2:4-6

4 As you come to him, a living stone ^adrejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 ^aeyou yourselves like living stones are being built up as ^afa spiritual house, to be ^aga holy priesthood, ^ahto offer spiritual sacrifices ^aiacceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:

^aj“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
^akand whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
