44 110 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

111 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

112 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

113 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

114. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

115 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

116 ¶ And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

117 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
