And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.
And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?
But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?
And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.
No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.
Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire.
So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.
When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.
But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.
Matthew 6
Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.
So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.
And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.
But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:
Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?
And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?
And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him.
But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;
So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.
You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:
Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.
But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.
Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.
Matthew 5
