"That person is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the floods came, the water tried to wash the house away, but it could not shake it, because the house was built well. But the one who hears my words and does not obey is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation. When the floods came, the house quickly fell and was completely destroyed."

"In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Christ himself was like God in everything. But He did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit. But he gave up his place with God and made Himself nothing. He was born to be a man, He became like a servant. And when He was living as a man, He humbled Himself and was fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death - death on a cross So God raised him to the highest place. God made his name greater than every other name so that every knee will bow to the name of Jesus - everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. And everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and bring glory to God the Father."
